Ransomware attacks are on the rise, and once your computer or network has been infected, it can be really difficult to recover. No More Ransom can help, and more importantly, help you now, before an infection, and later, after one.<\/p>\n

The No More Ransom site does a couple of great things. First, if you or a computer you use has already been compromised, you can upload an encrypted file and the details of the ransom letter you received and the service will analyze and tell you what type of ransomware you\u2019re dealing with, and who\u2019s behind it, if they know.<\/p>\n

If you just want to protect yourself however, the site has plenty of tips to make sure your files and everything are safe and secure, starting with keeping regular backups<\/a>. From there, it\u2019s all about using robust antimalware tools on your computer, and learning a little internet savvy and good web hygiene (turning on \u201cshow file extensions\u201d and never opening files or attachments sent to you by people you don\u2019t know, and even then checking on ones from people you do know.)<\/p>\n
