Process Explorer copies it’s 64-bit version to the temp folder to execute, you may need to whitelist the following location to allow this application to operate. %localappdata%\Temp\Procexp64.exe

Short answer is “No, there is nothing that will protect you in all cases.”  Malicious software is forever evolving, and it will always be a cat and mouse game with both sides playing ‘catch up’ no matter which side of the situation you are on. CryptoPrevent is a security supplement, filling a need where other solutions fall short, however it is not a replacement for anti-virus software, firewalls, or other security solutions, nor does it render backup software...

Unfortunately CryptoPrevent is only designed for malware prevention, and cannot help if you are already infected, at which point you should seek help from your local or remote PC repair specialists. If you don’t know where to turn for help, consult our new Tech Directory!   Background:  We at Foolish IT have been seeking a way to help our customers when they need local or remote repair/malware removal services, because frequently customers end up here...

Yes it is compatible, just like a workstation OS. We would highly recommend installing it on a terminal server. Otherwise it is actually pointless to install CryptoPrevent or other CryptoLocker prevention rules on a server OS, as it is usually company policy that employees do not check their email from the server, or browse the internet, etc.  There is no other reason that malicious files would be executed from the server itself, if no one uses it...

Yes!  CryptoPrevent should co-exist peacefully with your existing security software. There may from time to time be some minor issues, and they will be outlined on the Troubleshooting page.

We cannot answer that. Your existing Anti-Virus protection is only as good as the latest definition files, and I can’t tell you which products on the market are confirmed to protect against this threat. What I can tell you is that there is NO Anti-Virus software on the market today that provides the same type of protection that CryptoPrevent provides, it works in an entirely different manner. Since the two can co-exist on the same...

YES!  A LOT of trojan based malware out there utilizes the same infection tactics and launch point locations as CryptoLocker, therefore CryptoPrevent will protect against all malware that fits the same or similar profile and behavior. Additionally new SRP rules to the existing protection system, plus new protection types (and definition updates) integrated into CryptoPrevent v6/v7 (and another coming soon in v8) will stop far more malware than just ‘crypto’ style ransomware!

YES!  You should periodically check for and update to the latest version using the program’s update function to stay current with the latest methodology in preventing current malware. This process is entirely automatic for users with a purchased license (which includes automatic updating functionality) however the free edition available in older versions of the product can only update to CryptoPrevent v9.1, the last version in which the free edition was available. After update it is then necessary to re-apply...

CryptoPrevent’s free edition is a stripped down version of CryptoPrevent which includes the original SRP based protections, but excludes the FolderWatch and HoneyPot protections, and excludes all of the additional functionality such as the tray icon, email alerts, maintenance features, and of course automatic updating of the software and definitions.  With the release of CryptoPrevent v9.1, the free edition no longer allows any updating, even when performed manually. You can still obtain the free version of...
