No you read it wrong, it incorrectly blocked 2 out of the 16 it says, but it still caught all 16.

Don't forget that you can also enable Ransomware Protection in Windows Defender so it protects your personal folders from unwanted changes.

I mean.. they literally just showcased the backup function, something you can do yourself, no programs needed. And popular ransomwares have decryptors available for them already, and I feel like that's an important thing to know.

You still didn’t emphasize that if you’ve already been ransomwered, this Acronis or God himself won’t be able to help you.

[@ningnong401]

But a backup that is not on the ransomwared computer will, so go to go.acronis.com/linus2020 to get up to 5 tbs worth of cloud storage for backups so the ransomware will not be installed on your system anymore!

[@ningnong401]

As you said God himself can't help you (partially because computers weren't invented during the time the bible supposedly happened), so Acronis is more powerful than god, go to go.acronis/linus2020 to get a 30 day free trial and 40 percent off!!

[@bencheevers6693]

Hey guy's don't pay the ransom for the 0.2% of you get hit with ransomware (not that anybody actually would, it's just lost data) you should pay for a monthly license for this product, after 6 years it'll cost you the same as getting hit with a ransom, that's 0.2% chance of losing files and never losing money to 100% percent of people that Linus successfully sells this to that are guaranteed to lose money.

How to sell antivirus? Make a virus and sell antivirus Also rename "data collection' as cloud backup.

[@iTeCeXD]

The thing is though, most ransomware operate with realtime encryption. Making it so that if you don’t remove the ransomware before you back up any seperate files, it will encrypt them as well. I know Linus showed a full restore of files to before he got the ransomware, but it’s far from everyone knowing how to do that.
