Ransomware is particularly dangerous because it takes over your computer and doesn’t allow you to access your files unless you pay certain amount of money to the person that infected your PC. Some ransomware can even encrypt your hard drive, making your data completely inaccessible.

Ransomware can be a major security threat and with the number of ransomware-based incidents on the rise, it’s no wonder that security companies are gearing up to deal with this issue. If you’re concerned your computer might get infected by this malicious software, you might want to try BDAntiRansomware. This free tool is designed to keep you safe from the most common ransomware threats. According to the developers, BDAntiRansomware can protect you from known and possible future versions of TeslaCrypt, CTB-Locker, and Locky types of ransomware.

BDAntiRansomware is a lightweight tool and will protect you from any potential hazards while running in the background. This tool doesn’t use many system resources, so there won’t be any performance loss or slowdown. As this is a standalone tool, it doesn’t require Bitdefender security to be installed. And unlike certain free security tools, BDAntiRansomware doesn’t pester you with ads. Users have not reported any issues, like false positives for instance, while using BDAntiRansomware, but if it were to happen to you, it’s easy to disable.

Bitdefender Lab did a solid job with BDAntiRansomware, but keep in mind that this tool isn’t an antivirus replacement. Instead, it’s designed to provide you with an additional level of security against ransomware . If you wish to try BDAntiRansomware, download it fromhere.
