    Adding to
    Le Boule's     comments...

    The best defensive strategy to protect yourself from malware and ransomware (crypto malware) infections is a

    comprehensive approach     to include prevention and your
    best defense is back up, back up, and more back up on a regular basis. When implementing a backup strategy
    include testing to ensure it works before an emergency arises; routinely check to verify backups are being made and stored properly; remove (disconnect) and isolate all backups from the network or home computer...if not, you risk ransomware
    infecting them when it strikes.


    For more suggestions to protect yourself from ransomware infections, see my comments (Post #2) in this topic...Ransomware
    Avoidance    ...it includes a list of prevention tools.
