When people aren’t scamming you through sleazy phone calls, hackers are getting into your computer and locking particular data behind an encryption and demanding money. This type of scam is called Ransomware and is one of the largest problems people face today.

While in some cases, ransomware is usually targeting small or medium sized businesses, that doesn’t mean it can’t go after individuals. As such, it’s smart for not only average people, but companies to invest in some ransomware protection for their PCs. Here are some of my suggestions.

First on the list is Bitdefender Antivirus Plus. For $30 a year, you get a solid antivirus software that is packed with all kinds of features that put other security suites to shame. Features include protection from malware, phishing, network threats, ransomware and other browsers. You also get a wallet for passwords, a VPN (virtual private network) to make tracking you practically impossible, and more.

Second is Check Point ZoneAlarm Anti-Ransomware. For this protection you’re paying roughly $20 a year and getting a highly-effective and robust security system. It monitors and cleans up any ransomware traces in testing and has effectively stopped modern ransomware. The only catch to this tool is that it only focuses on ransomware and nothing else.

Webroot is the third tool on the list and serves more as a bundle compared to the others on this list. Webroot comprises of Bitdefender, Kaspersky and many others. It bundles everything into a one-year subscription for about $20 a year. All in all, it’s cheap, speedy, and does it’s job well in providing ample protection.

For those who don’t want to be paying any yearly fees, there are some free options to consider. Our fourth option is Acronis Ransomware Protection. It’s free and fights pretty well against ransomware in general. The free bundle offers 5 GB of online backup storage for securing the most important files. It also is capable of recovering any affected files and can fight against most ransomwares. I’d recommend paying for one of the three I mentioned earlier, but if you need a backup, this software can cover it.

The final tool I’ll share is Cybereason RansomFree. This is also free and like Acronis, can fight against most pretty well with some passing through the cracks. In the case of Cybereason it’s any disk-encryption ransomware that it can’t detect. Of course you have to expect some drawbacks since it’s free, but outside of that, it adds another layer of protection and that’s better than nothing.
