Developer's description:

CryptoBuster is an effective anti-ransomware solution with a small system footprint that can work side by side with your existing security product to offer an additional security layer and form the last line of defense against ransomware to protect your valuable data from damage.

CryptoBuster uses honeypots, which is an efficient and proven technique with low false-positive chances to detect and stop ransomware when they start to encrypt user files. You have full control over the honeypots creation process as you can either create honeypots manually customizing their names and locations or you can leave this job to CryptoBuster that can deploy hundreds of honeypots in strategic system locations with custom names and file types designed to allow ransomware to target those files before they can reach any of your important files.

Besides Honeypots that are effective to stop ransomware when they start to encrypt user files, CryptoBuster can intelligently monitor the file system to detect malicious activities that may indicate an ongoing ransomware attack or sometimes indicate the preparations for an attack. For example, CryptoBuster can detect the creation of files with extensions that are known to be used by ransomware to encrypt user files, also you can configure CryptoBuster to detect the creation of potentially dangerous files like batch files and scripts that are commonly used in ransomware attacks, or even to detect the creation of files of unknown types which is an aggressive technique used to stop most of the ransomware strains that change file extensions.

CryptoBuster was built to be a user-friendly and configurable anti-ransomware solution that is why it comes with a full range of tools and settings to allow you to customize all ransomware protection aspects provided by CryptoBuster and to have full control over actions made by the software. You can choose which protection module to enable and configure how this module works, configure automatic actions to perform in response to a specific event or disable this automatic response by setting CryptoBuster to monitor and report only. CryptoBuster comes with Security History feature that logs every security issue detected and actions performed by CryptoBuster; this would allow experienced users to understand how CryptoBuster works and the best way to configure the protection settings for best performance and user experience.
