How to Protect Your Computer from Ransomware

Ransomware is a type of malware that locks your files and demands money to unlock them. It is a nightmare for businesses and students alike.

Prevention Tips:

2. Update Windows: Microsoft releases security patches regularly. Don’t ignore those "Update Pending" notifications.
3. Don't Click Suspicious Links: Avoid opening email attachments from unknown senders or clicking on "You won a prize" ads.
4. Use a Good Antivirus: Windows Defender is good, but a paid antivirus like QuickHeal or McAfee adds an extra layer of protection.
