Antiransomware protection provides next layer of
security which protects your selected folders against to unwanted
modification. These folders are protected by default: %user%/Documents,
%user%/Pictures.

3. Select this folder to be protected: Menu -> Ransomware Protection -> Select Strict Mode.
Select "Protected folders" from the left panel and add your folder for testing.
You can change file extensions: "Click on Change protected file types".
From
now this files from this folder are protected against modification. Try
to change files, allow and block apps. Turn off whole Antiransomware
protection etc..
Try smart mode too:
Menu -> Ransomware Protection -> Select Smart Mode. Remove all blocked
apps and allowed apps. Try to modify files from your test folder.
Trusted apps are allowed to modify your files. Trusted apps are commonly
used applications (e.g. Microsoft Word, Total commander, Notepad) that
our antivirus recognizes as safe.
Known issues:
