Have you or your company been affected by ransomware or other kind of malware? Let me know in the comments below.
@MOVIES's amazing scenes OFFICIALS And how did the story end?
@MOVIES's amazing scenes OFFICIALS I see. I guess it could have been worse 😟
Yes one of our stupid co worker search for vlc and downloaded some files from mega that infected his pc and even NAS because he had write access, lost very big chunk of data
So if I'm getting (Unauthorized changes blocked notification) it means that a hacker is trying to hack one of my PC folders, right? Kindly advise!
ive been having trouble of accessing windows security saying i dont have the it administrator access please help
I somehow missed that we could grant exceptions to apps, for Controlled Folder Access. I had gotten really frustrated by not being able to edit/create files in those folders, so I removed them from the list. Armed with this vital bit of knowledge, I will soon make some changes. Thank you.
Sure you can. Good luck!
Thank you very much.. I have implemented this as you recommended... Thanks again!!!
my pc is attacked by a ransomware and thankfully this video exist:)
Oh no. I hope you were able to solve the problem.
Q: that ransomware application that you ran is specifically programmed to encrypt the demo folder or for all folder in the HardDisk?
I see Ransomware protection on my laptop Off under CONTROLLED FOLDER ACCESS. Should I turn it on ?
It is turned off by default. You can turn it on but if you experience any errors from applications you will either need to allow exceptions or turn the feature off again.
If i remove my ssd and then put it into an other pc or laptop will i have access to files our not ?
Please reply 🙏
Thanks Soo much well explained
Glad it was helpful!
Apparently controlled folder access prevents unauthorized changes (encryption) to the folders HOWEVER even if the folders are not encrypted I would like to to know if that same ransomware can still steal copies of the folders and send them back to the attackers?
I ask because apparently newer waves of ransomware can steal copies of files and folders and that makes the matter much worse than just encrypting since people have passwords, etc that they do not want stolen. Thank you.
Should I select my Windows C drive completely, if selected will it affect other programs
No you shouldn't. It's not designed to protect anything other than your data.
@@RussellSmith thanks for the reply..
thank you
No problem!

Would CFA on the external backup folder along with a protected image (Macrium reflect) be a good solution? Therefore I can format and restore my machine.
I would always recommend that there be physical separation between your backup and the device you are backing up. I.e. don't leave the backup file permanently attached to the device. It should be stored away somewhere and kept disconnected. If not every backup you do, but at least some of them so that you can always go back to a particular point in time.
Hello
Recently my laptop all files are effected with Ransomeware , is there any way to recover all my photos...that's all I need ...
I’m sorry to hear that. If you don’t have a backup of your photos, then no.
Yes, you can pay them or restore from a backup.
@@pilotavery Still a gamble whether they send you a decryption key at all after paying the ransom.
Sir my windows 10 are having option ransomware protection can i put it of or on? please i just want to safe my data
Protection is enabled by default. You can check in the Windows Security Center. To make sure your data is safe, back it up on a regular basis.
tbh, the safest place probably cloud drive like google drive, onedrive, etc etc
@@tuankumiskotak yes
how do i remove from protected folder? everytime i press the remove option it stops and then lead me towards the homedisplay
You just click Remove. If that doesn't work, something is not working correctly with Windows on your device most likely.
Why do i keep getting message svchost.exe had been blocked by control folder access
Good question. You'll have to look at the logs and see why it's being triggered.
thanks for advice
You're welcome 😊
Hi.is it possible to make drive c witch is the most important drive on computer to controlled folder access?
Or just we can choose a specific folder?
Can controlled folder access block malware or spyware or just designed for ransomware
You must choose specific folders. It’s designed to stop ransomware encrypting your files. It’s not designed to protect Windows from attack.
@@RussellSmith thanks for reply.and the last question is windows defender compatible with kaspersky antivirus cloud free edition.i tried avg and its compatible but for example when i tried to install bitdefender windows defendef blocked the instalation and detect as a virus.
@@lyonghahramanians no problem. I’ve no idea. You’ll have to try it and see. I’m not sure why you’d want to install Kaspersky free AV and not just keep Windows Defender.
What does turning it on do to your device? I clicked no
It stops unknown processes from being able to modify the contents of protected folders. For example, it could prevent ransomware from encrypting or deleting important files.
Try to stop folders from backing up in one drive
You can just disable OneDrive if you don't want to use it. Or even uninstall it.
Thank You So Much

No problem! ))
But is Windows Defender also good at fighting Lock-screen Ransomware? Or would Malwarebytes be better?
I have no idea which is better. But I'd trust Defender in general. I'm sure Malwarebytes is perfectly capable too.
No antimalware can provide complete protection. You need to have a defense-in-depth strategy and follow security best practices.
@@RussellSmith Hi. Apparently there is a trick to get out of lockscreen. I believe It has to do with restarting in safe mode and then using some kind of anti-virus/malware from there. Thanks.
thank you!
No problem!
Be to safe ransomware option is on or off
On
@@RussellSmith Thanks
I dont have permission to open the "Ransomware-protection" Part
Are you signed-in as Admin, if so, then your permission to open the "Ransomware-protection", can be fixed in the Group Policy settings of Windows 10. I know this, because I had the same problem, which is now fixed!
You should be able to open 'Manage ransomware protection' regardless of whether you are signed in as an administrator. Do you have another antivirus program installed as well? If so, it could be blocking access to some features in Windows Security.
Frank, maybe you can share with us exactly what Group Policy setting you are referring to? There are many of them related to Windows Security.
@@RussellSmith MAN, I wish I could tell you !! But here is my story... I am NOT a computer Tech, and I have always hated Microsoft when it came to security until like March or April of this year. It was January of this year that a friend of mine, went off on me about how great Windows Defender had become, it was then that I started doing research on the matter by watching RUclips videos and reading the Microsoft web pages concerning security. I ran into one page on the Microsoft website that spoke of the Group Policy settings for Windows Defender Antivirus/Firewall, and I am one who has NEVER been afraid to mess with the settings of Windows 10! At that time I became frustrated that there were parts of the Windows 10 Security center that I could NOT access or change, I was the administrator and the only person to use this computer, so it really pissed me off that I could not access or change those settings. But, it was right around that time ( February ) that I started going through the group Policy settings for Windows Defender Antivirus/Firewall, and to my surprise, I started to have access to those areas in the Windows Security Center that I had not had access to before, but I can NOT tell you what settings I changed in the group policy settings that caused those changes, but I know for a fact that it was the Group policy changes that I made that caused those changes in the Widows Security Center. I know that because I still do not have access to the section of the Windows Security Center that has to do with cloud protection and Sample Submission, but that is one section that I do know how to change in the Group Policy settings. How I can change that is by going to Group Policy settings and change the level of Sample Submission to Microsoft, there is like four or five settings for Sample Submission that can be changed, setting the group policy setting for Sample Submission to "FULL Submission" will allow you full access to Cloud Protection and Sample Submission in the Windows Security Center, but that is NOT the setting that I choose for Sample Submission, I choose SAFE SUBMISSION, which means that Microsoft gets NONE of my personal information, but by having that setting, I do NOT have access to Cloud Protection or Sample Submission in the Windows Security Center, but Cloud Protection and Sample Submission are turned on, on my computer, I just can't change those settings in the Windows Security Center unless I change the Sample Submission setting in Group Policy to FULL SUBMISSION !! NO THANKS, NOT GONNA ALLOW THAT !! That's my story, sorry that I can't be of more help in this case, other than to say.... Don't be AFRAID to mess with the Group Policy Settings in Windows 10, it WILL help in this case!
Thanks for the reply! Ok, I understand. One thing to remember is that users on Windows 10 Home don't have access to Group Policy.
Controlled Folder Acess --> "Page not available. Your IT manager blah-blah-blah" (What darn manager, you may ask, since this is a home setup!)
What edition of Windows are you using? Home or Pro?
@@RussellSmith So 4 mths later and he hasn't responded and we have nothing from you.
Why didn't you answer, "if you have pro, blah, blah, else on home, blah, blah.
@@robjohnson8861 Lol. I'm not providing a free consulting service here. If Alejandro wants help, he can answer my question and I'll do my best to point him in the right direction. But strangely enough, I'm not obliged to do so.
@@RussellSmith LOL. You're a clueless dork, i'm guessing.
For you to ask him a very specific question like you did, it sounds if you knew what the problem was or might be.
Most RUclipsrs would say that most channel operators rarely answer a question. So, in 4 mths how many people might have read his question and would have liked to see an answer vs your 1/2 ass response bec statistically they know if they ask why home and pro matter, a channel operator probably won't answer even though you did that time.
Finish man, finish, if you think you know.
Do you think a response like yours to me will win friends and influence subs?
@@robjohnson8861 There’s no need for personal insults or aggression. I have no idea what Alejandro’s problem is and I never claimed to do so. I will try to help him if he’s willing to engage with me. If you don’t like me or my channel, nobody is forcing you to subscribe or watch.
lmao windows is fucking garbage
