This is one of the fairly recent and current threats. Basically this is a script of every single file on your system. You cannot access any information unless you pay a certain amount, hence the name. Of course, most of the time, you won't be able to access your files even if you pay because the wrongdoers will disappear. There is nothing you can do to restore them, so preventative protection is the only way out. Make sure all your information is backed up in a cloud or external devices to ensure you have a way out of this situation.

Pervasive Anti-Virus Protection This is another must-have for your systems. Computer viruses have evolved considerably and can be embedded in almost anything on the internet. Having a reliable and reputable anti-virus installed is an absolute must for your online business to thrive.

Email Protection Most malware will reach you via your emails, whether you like it or not. This is especially true if you are in the habit of subscribing to different services without double-checking their legitimacy. A temporary email box might be all you need in such a situation.

This is a very useful service that will assist you in filtering out all the spam and potentially dangerous letters you receive. It is very functional and takes almost no time to set up. As a matter of fact, a temporary email box is set up automatically. You do not need to enter any information and all you have to do is enter the website and the temporary email address will appear - you can use it from then on. It's also disposable and completely anonymous, which brings quite a few additional benefits. Of course, internet protection is very complex, so it's important to keep some other things in mind as well. While your mail is an entry point for many viruses, that doesn't mean you should ignore other problem areas.
