What is Ransomware?
Ransomware is a malicious program that encrypts files by modifying file extensions, and hackers often demand a high ransom to unlock your files.
For example, your original file extension was Test.docx, and ransomware infected your computer and changed the file extension to Test.crypted.
How does A.I. Secure Auto-Backup protect my files?
After the ransomware detection feature is enabled, the system will check to see if the files you are going to back up have been modified to specific file extensions before backing them up to the cloud. If so, a warning window will pop up, and the backup job will be paused.
If your computer is attacked by ransomware, you just need to confirm that the malicious program has been removed from your devices, and then you can restore the files from the cloud to avoid the threat of hackers.
How to enable the ransomware detection feature?
1. left-click on the A.I. Secure Auto-Backup icon on the Windows taskbar.
2. Click on [Settings] on the left side menu.
3. In the Ransomware detection section, tick the [Protect backup files from ransomware attacks] checkbox.
5. Tick the checkbox of the file, then click the [Download] icon at the top-right corner of the page.
Note: You can only download a single backup file each time. Downloading an entire backup folder or multiple files at the same time is not allowed.
