2. Anti-Ransomware frees your files and unlocks your computer
Ransomware is a particularly nasty piece of malware. Once it infects your system, it locks your computer or it encrypts your files. So basically, it locks you out and doesn’t let you back in unless you pay a ransom. Even though you might be tempted to pay, you shouldn’t. Michael Miley, TPM Manager at Trend Micro, explains why.
“Ransomware can arrive on your desktop from compromised websites, spammed emails, or wrapped in other malware—and it’s getting more expensive to pay off the extortionists,” Michael Miley said. “Ransom prices may start around $24 USD, but demands of $600 or more—or its bitcoin equivalent—are becoming more common. That said, there’s no guarantee that, even if you pay the fee, the criminals will release your computer or files.”
Go get Trend Micro's free Anti-Ransomware tool and use it to regain access to your system and files.
3. Password Manager securely stores your passwords
A password manager’s purpose is to help you efficiently manage your passwords. This means it must securely store all your passwords, help you easily log into your accounts, protect you against cybercriminals who want to steal your passwords, tell you if you’re using weak passwords, and so on. Trend Micro’s Password Manager (formerly DirectPass) does all that and more.
