Ransomware is on the rise.
One wrong click and the user files get encrypted, followed by a message: pay so many bitcoins or loose your files....
Can Webroot protect against such malware and what user can do to minimize (if not eliminate) the risk?
How Webroot protects against ransomware?

Welcome to the Webroot Community,
WSA does provide excellent protection against Ransomeware, but keep in mind that new variants are constantly being released in an attempt to stay ahead of software like WSA.
In some situations where it has gotten past, Webroot Support has been able to help by way of the rollback, etc.
Please look here at what happens if Webroot misses a virus, https://community.webroot.com/t5/Webroot-SecureAnywhere-Antivirus/What-Happens-if-Webroot-quot-Misse...
Also please look at this video about Webroot and Ransomeware https://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/8241/127363
