Malwarebytes has a new AntiRansonware product out in beta. They claim to have pretty good success at stopping ransomware.

That is a pretty cool article, it would've been great if they provided some proof with the article.

Their lab environment, the variants tested etc, but otherwise totally awesome.

As much as I want those who spend time making these kinds of solutions to be compensated, this type of protection really needs to be free to make a safer, more secure internet.

I wonder what they will charge for it after it's out of beta?

I'm very interested in the real world results of this. Sounds promising.

@nadnerB It's only a beta, and just announced at that, so might be just an early glitch.

Same package or was it possibly updated in between?

We run their Business edition AntiMalware and have had GREAT success with it. Support calls are way down. I am curious how this Ransomware will work with their current products. Hopefully it can all be managed from the same console.

I know It's a Beta, but again a problem with high memory use.

It happens sometimes when I delete or move several files in local.

@iroal Is that the same version? or have there been updates?

There are updates 2 days per Week.

New version solves my main problem with the app.

Issues Fixed:
• Fixed issue that caused high-CPU and memory usage and resulted in a process crash in certain cases

They are doing a great job with this program, and It's free.

Good to hear that they are making progress.

I don't know why but last version detects "sometimes" 7-zip as a thread
