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.

There might be a setting for it in windows 10. But I would download the free malwarebytes
another good virus software is call VIPRE internet security if you go to www.hsn.com and order it there and then you get a lifetime support and free updates for life.


hope this helps

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.
