How to Protect Your System Using AVG Ransomware Protection?

Ransomware is malicious software that can encrypt any important file in your system or completely blocks you from accessing your system. The hacker who has spread this software in your PC will then demand a ransom amount to decrypt these files. To protect your system from ransomware attacks you need a strong security program like AVG. AVG Ransomware Protection can give security to your photos, documents and files so that no one can illegally access them and modify and delete them.

It scans your PC and automatically protects files and folders that contain personal data and information. You can also add more folders if you want in its list. For this, select Protection Folders tab, then select a folder and click OK. To remove a folder from its list, hover your cursor over a relevant application’s row and click X. If you want to specify which type of files it should protect, click “Change Protected file type”. All the files are selected by default, you can uncheck the box to deselect any. Then it allows you to specify which applications and programs are allowed to modify these files and which are not.

Ransomware feature is enabled by default, you can disable it if you want with the help of our support team who is available at AVG Help Number UK, although it is not recommended by our experts. You can adjust ransomware protection activity by choosing the correct option:

• Smart Mode: This is a default setting and here the software refer to the list of commonly used and trusted programs and decide which program can modify your protected folders and which not.
• Strict Mode: You are asked for permission every time when an application tries to modify a protected file. If you go for this option then you might get flooded with frequent and annoying alerts.

But sometimes, the user comes across some issues while using Ransomware Protection. Users complain that they don’t see it in AVG’s menu, this can happen when you are using an outdated version of the software. Update your AVG Internet Security to its latest version.
