Will this protect against other malware?

July 30th, 2014

YES! A LOT of trojan based malware out there utilizes the same infection tactics and launch point locations as Cryptolocker, therefore CryptoPrevent will protect against all malware that fits the same or similar profile and behavior. This is especially true in v2.6+ when protection was increased to include other executable types.

Does my existing Anti-Virus software protect against this threat?

July 30th, 2014

We cannot answer that. Your existing anti-virus protection is only as good as the latest definition files, and we can’t tell you which products on the market are confirmed to protect against this threat. What we can tell you is that there is NO anti-virus software on the market today that provides the same type of protection that CryptoPrevent provides, it works in an entirely different manner.

You released a new version. Should I update, and how?

July 30th, 2014

YES! You should periodically check for and update to the latest version using the program’s internal update function in the top menu to stay current with the latest methodology in preventing this (and other) malware. After update it is then necessary to re-apply the protection to your system.
