Block Ransomware and Backup 2.1.0.3 was available as a giveaway on May 28, 2019!
There are many ways to block ransomware, malware, and viruses. However, these malicious programs continue to evolve, so simply blocking malicious programs with patterns alone can infect your PC with other malicious programs.
There is a way. Please try Block Ransomware and backup.
Ransomware, malware, viruses, etc. can infiltrate your PC, but it can not damage your files.
This product allows you to set the Desktop, Documents folder, and so on as protected folders, and allow only the programs that are allowed (for example, MS Office programs) to modify the files in the protected folder. Unauthorized programs can only open the file as read-only, or block the unauthorized program from running. Therefore, malicious programs can not be accessed to the protected folder.
You can also create backup files automatically whenever you modify or create documents. These backup files are stored in a special folder, and not all programs can change this backup files unless you allow it.
Use this product to protect your valuable files.
Features:
* You can specify the folders or drives to prevent ransom-ware.
* Can create/change files in the security folder by only the applications that you allow.
* If an unregistered application attempts to write to the secure folder, ask the user whether to allow the write operation.
* When the main program is terminated, it is not possible to write or delete files in the secure folders.
* When creating/editing a file within the specified source folder, the Backup program automatically copies the modified file to the backup folder.
* The backup folder can be viewed in Windows Explorer, but it cannot be modified or deleted.

Hi TK.
"Block Ransomware and backup" Filter driver is the same as that used by the driver used by the "Secure PC" products.
"much like what anti-rootkit software does in order to determine if a rootkit filter driver is concealling portions of the file-system to hide malware like rootkit revealer used to do by comparing self enumerated file system with the windows API enumerated file system"
==> If I choose this method, I am troubled because there is no way to distinguish which one is the rootkit and what is good.
So, How about the following?
When the driver is installing, what if we filter it all and let the user choose whether to install the driver?
And thank you for always pointing out the points to fix or consider.

The key sent to my e-mail is not complete just two section of the four section
xxxx-xxxx instead of xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
Please, make the correction.

Hi Oasis Udehi
xxxxx-xxxxx is correct.
xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx is serial number, and it's auto generated.
so, you dont need input this serial no.
after install application, "License input" window is displayed.
at this window, you need to enter license key (xxxxx-xxxxx) format.
If you have any problems, please let me know.
our email is support@xSecuritas.com
Thanks

I tested it in two Virtualbox VM machines, once with W10 V1809 and once with W10 V1903. Both worked fine.
So I cannot confirm Hanzo's experience and his problems with W10 V1903.

Hi Eberhard,
Thank you for your support. On my VM, this application is worked fine with v1903 x64.
So, I will test it with May 2019 update.
Save | Cancel
Eberhard, I run directly it on my W10 1903. I tested to block some apps to write on special folders and it works fine. Thank xSecuritas for his great app.

Hmmmm,,,,,,, This sounds just like going through your house and putting locks on all of your cupboards, closets, bedroom doors, and cabinets. Then you have to go through the inconvenience of having to unlock each one in order to access any of them. Why not just get good security software that blocks an outside intruder from getting in the front door?

How does this program differ from the controlled folder access that is included with Windows 10 and Windows Server 2019?
Save | Cancel
Me again, Did you mean 'controlled folder access'?
I think that it's similar except some functions.
- set allow or disallow processes by digital signature
- automatically backup files when files on protected folder are changed

This program is not user-friendly.

I'm not certain that this software has anything to do with Ransomware, why, because any software that has a key installed in the windows registry as "TrustedInstaller" can access the protected folder. with R/W privilege. It can be any rogue software out there including a modified Ransomware virus.
This software can work in conjunction with any Ransomware software without interfering or stopping it, since anybody can read from the protected folder. You can do better protection if you put your DOC files on a protected external drive or create a protected external vault, because some Ransomware viruses can not even let you log into your system at all.

Hi Jones,
Strictly, only allowed process can have write access to protected folder.
And if processes have "Trustedinstaller" account, these processes can have write access to protected folder.

Thank you

Jones, Thanks, you are correct, this software has nothing to do with Ransomware because it allows the Ransomware to work in the background like it does not exists, however, I had Ransomware virus that did not allowed me to boot the win 10 at all and I had to wipe clean the drive and install everything from scratch.
This software does not protect you from Ransomware virus and their hundred's of mutations out there. I call it an alternate method of some kind of protection, but it is not full proof protection at all.

Hi Greg,
Initially the policy is disabled.
I guess that the menu you are viewing is the "Current Policy" window.
You can modify or activate the policy from the "Edit Policy" menu.

Hopefully the companies can determine the cause and get patches out.

xSecuritas, I have a good news for you that your app run well on Windows 1903. However, the UI shows incorrectly when I config Ransomware Protected Folder in "Custom disallowed items" and "Predefined items" steps, the list shows only one of the columns. Pls check and correct this UI. Thank you.

Kevin Bui, oh. Good news.
And thank for your comments. I will fix it within 1 or 2 days, and then inform you.
