You know that if you get infected with ransomware
virus then you end up paying the ransom to get
back your encrypted files. Prevention is the
prime key to stay away from their attack. Here
you have 8 tips to prevent ransomware attack.

1. Back up your data The biggest thing that will
defeat ransomware is to have an updated backup.
After being infected with ransomware, you may
lose your document. So it is very important to
have a regular backup, to an external drive or
backup service.

2. Show hidden file-extensions One of the
quickest way ransomware virus arrives is in a
file that is named with extension .PDF .EXE,
counting on the Windows default behavior of the
hidden known file-extensions. If you re-enable
the ability to see full file-extension, it would
be easier to spot suspicious files.

3. Filter EXEs in email If your gateway mail
scanner has the ability to filter the files by
extension then you must deny mails sent with
.EXE, .VBS.etc files.
4. Disable files running from AppData/LocalAppData
folders You can create rules in your Windows
then disallow particular, notable behavior used
by the ransomware, which is to run its executable
from App Data or Local App Data folders. If you
have legitimate software that you dont want to
run not from usual Program Files area but from
App Data area then exclude it from this rule.

5. Patch or Update your installed
software Malware authors rely on people running
outdated software that they can exploit to
silently get onto your system. If you make a
practice of updating your software then it can
significantly decrease the potential for
ransomware-pain. Enable automatic updates or go
directly to software vendors website.

6. Use reputable security program It is the good
idea to have both anti-malware software and
firewall to protect you from identify threats or
suspicious behavior. Malware authors frequently
send new variants, and try to avoid detection, so
it is very important to have both layers of
protection.

7. Disconnect from Wi-Fi or unplug from network
immediately If you run a file which suspect
ransomware, but you havent noticed any
ransomware characteristic screen the wisely stop
communication with the CC server before it
encrypt your files. If you disconnect yourself
from the network then you might mitigate the
damage. It takes time to encrypt your files, so
you may be able to stop it before it succeeds in
garbling your entire files. This technique is not
foolproof, but work at some extend.

8. Use System Restore to get back clean state If
you have, System Restore enabled on your Windows
system then take your system back to clean state.
However, some new versions of ransomware like
Cryptolocker have the ability to delete your
Shadow files from System Restore that means
those files will not be there when you try to
replace your malware-damaged versions.
