People need to start thinking ahead of this thing cause there is a lot to do after your computer got infected. For me the best thing is Impedio Security, even after the ransomware attacks it does excellent job with getting rid of it from your computer and getting all of your files back. But it’s maximum protection, there’s smaller chance of this attack with security software than with some antivirus or just with being careful.. Sometimes you are very much careful and yet somehow ransomware find its way and everything you’ve got on your PC is gone :/
