Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has seen this utility yet? It’s called RansomFree. It’s apparently a supplement to traditional AV, and works by monitoring processes, and alerting you if any process is doing anything suspicious like trying to encrypt files. A Lifehacker article is here:

And the app’s website is here:
