About RansomWhere?
RansomWhere? monitors file activity for patterns associated with ransomware and can interrupt suspicious processes. Its focus is identifying unexpected encryption rather than maintaining a general app inventory.
Detection is heuristic and is not a guarantee against every threat. Read the official installation and alert-handling guidance before relying on the tool.
