Picture this — you’re working on a vital document or cherished family photos, and suddenly, everything is locked. A message pops up demanding payment to unlock your files. That’s ransomware, and yes, it’s as scary as it sounds. But here’s the good news: Kaspersky does protect against ransomware — and it does so quite effectively. In this guide, we’ll explain how Kaspersky helps defend you from these digital threats, what you can do to stay safer online, and when to reach out for expert help.

What Is Ransomware?

Ransomware is a type of malicious software designed to lock or encrypt your files. Once infected, you’re asked to pay a ransom, usually in cryptocurrency, for a decryption key. But paying doesn’t guarantee recovery. That’s why tools like Kaspersky are essential in defending against such threats.

Common Problems or Causes

Ransomware typically spreads through:

• – Phishing emails with malicious attachments or links
  – Visiting infected websites
  – Downloading software from untrusted sources
  – Using outdated software or systems
  – Weak or reused passwords

• – Real-Time File Monitoring: Detects and blocks encryption attempts instantly.

  – Antivirus Protection: Identifies and removes ransomware strains.
  – Safe Browsing: Warns you about suspicious sites and downloads.
