Cerber ransomware...

[dont_touch_my_buffer]

Malwarebyte's new Cybercrime Tactics and Techniques Q1 2017 report shows Cerber has totally taken over "the market", accounting for 90 percent of Windows ransomware. On the other hand, the report does not mention, if Malwarebytes 3.x provides protection against Cerber and/or other ransomware. So, the question is...

Can Malwarebytes prevent ransomware encrypting the data on a Windows system?

TIA...

Hi dont_touch_my_buffer,

I'm no expert in this field but I can offer a source that might help:
The first is a test in which Malwarebytes is tested for its ability to handle ransomware: https://www.mrg-effitas.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Zemana_ransomware_detection.pdf

I hope that Cerber can be detected by now. Youtube, your place for inaccurate testing, is not very promising.

I hope this helps and I wish I had a more comforting story.

Regards,
Durew
