Kaspersky Anti-Ransomware Tool for Business is a straightforward application that runs in the system tray and quietly monitors your computer for ongoing attacks. According to our tests, it instantly reacts to infected processes that attempt to run and blocks their access, in order to keep your computer safe.

Keep your system safe from WannaCrypt and other ransomware

Although the name of the program suggests that it can be used within commercial environments only as well as operated by professionals, that’s far from the truth. As it turns out, Kaspersky Anti-Ransomware Tool is one of the most intuitive security tools we’ve come across, accessible even to casual users.

Following a fast and uneventful setup, it starts in the systray and creates an icon. As soon as a process infected with ransomware attempts to run, the tool stops it and shows up a notification message to draw your attention.
