@Fafhrd - In that context, how useful would have been

a. a white listing program (only 'approved' programs are allowed to be run- suitable for systems such as the NHS runs day to day that always run the same programs

b. Cryptoprevent
CryptoPrevent Malware Prevention Foolish IT

c. RansomFree by Cybereason
Ransomware Protection - RansomFree by Cybereason

(I have these last two installed)

I've used CryptoPrevent since the day it came out.

SecureAplus premium is free from Sharewareonsale today
- 12 AV engines
- white listing

SecureAPlus also smartly does application whitelisting upon install and automatically updates and maintains the list of trusted applications...

SecureAPlus works and plays well with others by keeping its antivirus engines in the cloud. Not only does this make it inherently fast even on older machines but also lets it work alongside other antimalware and antivirus software, or even other security apps like firewalls and sandboxing.

Hmm, well, on a trial basis with Avast installed, a full scan ran ok. Not sure I'm happy about having two AV solutions though... and how does cloud scanning work- 'unknown' files would have to be uploaded for analysis, wouldn't they- like Virustotal?
