Scott, is it true that there's a setting in Windows that protects against ransomware? I ask because my dad caught something in the news about that.

I already have Malwarebytes. No offense, spiderman, but I currently use Windows 7 Professional. Scott Mueller does not like Windows 10.

The only true protection against malicious malware (as well as hardware failure, fire, theft, etc.) is to keep multiple backups. Scott.
