I received a very timely email today from Webroot. I must have had their software many years ago. [Please note: I do
not work for this or any other software or hardware company. I am merely sharing this information.]
It refers me to a page headlined
CryptoLocker Malware: What you still need to know.
Here is the point of interest to this thread:
"Can Webroot Protect Customers Against It?
Not only will Webroot will be able to stop CryptoLocker before it infects your machine and if it manages to get through, our technology will be able to rollback the damage done using advanced journaling, but we're also the ONLY company that can offer this kind of help."
Reactions? Thoughts?
And now for the bad news:
"We will not be able to decrypt files hijacked by CryptoLocker on a system that was infected before Webroot was on the machine and the remediation will not be possible on a network drive that does not have Webroot SecureAnywhere installed on it."
Would you buy this?
