Ransomware viruses can’t infect your system on Acronis’ watch. Its technology monitors your system in real-time, distinguishing normal activities from suspicious ones like unauthorized encryption. By recognizing bad behavior, it spots ransomware whether the strain is known or not.

If a process is caught trying to encrypt your files or inject malicious code into your system, Acronis stops it before any damage is done. You’re instantly notified that something suspicious was found. Then you can either block the activity or allow it to continue.
