INSTALL GENTOO
INSTALL HACKINTOSH

You're probably not a pajeet so quit using Wintoddler shit.

>>60726684
install gentoo

Retard, WannaCry used to spread without any user interaction. Stay retarded, POOJEET

>>60726684
install firewall

Install Source Mage and Gentoo side by side.

It spread on intranet networks primarly because some clueless idiot like you opened a funny email and followed the instructions to launch the attached application. It didn't spread by banging each computer on the internet.

Use Common Sense 2017.

>>60726684
Turn on auto updates ;^)

>>60726684
You can't thus backup your shit.

use something like ESET

>>60726684
Why do you even care?

Just restore a backup/

And if you don't make backups your data apparently isn't worth restoring.

Had to google this shit. You must be an actual pajeet to know such obscure Indian name.

Backups.

>>60726835

>backup is now encrypted

>>60726825
Damn WannaCry had potential to make an anime mascot.
Would've been glorious.

>>60726684
Backups.

Still to answer your question, Malwarebytes has real time anti-ransomware software that will block it from running.
And other that will stop it from going on if its executed.

All unique media stored on removable drives which are removed and archived while not in use. If one is comprimised, flash media is cheap enough to destroy one, and make a backup of the redundant.

>>60726684
The protocol used to transmit wannacry is something old and ancient. Disable it unless you actually know that you use it.

Keep your OS up to date.

Back up all your storage drives to drives that aren't connected to a computer.

Other shit

Eli is trash, fuck off

Install the official patch
Block the affected ports
And disable the SMB altogether for good measure

Yourwaifubestres.jpeg.exe

Is a legit file, so trust it.

The real answer here is YOU. You need to be the human firewall. Clicking bait links or malicious shit will increase the odds of getting infected. Any important data should be backed up and I'm not talking about Dropbox, Google Drive or any cloud storage. Like Crashplan or BackBlaze. Ransomware will latch onto any connect network shares or cloud storage services and encrypt them as well. Use ESET Nod32 combined with Malwarebytes Premium. The Malwarebytes Premium alone has ransomware detection.

>>60733761
There's nothing wrong with cloud storage if you're not connected to them 24/7. I only manually sync whenever I make significant changes to my folders. There's no way ransomware will ever get to them

>>60728374
how do you back things up(not a question want to know how other people do it)

>>60735873
Where do you think you are right now. Hint hint, it isn't heaven.

>>60726705
Sauce

>>60726684
Install a real OS. Otherwise, eventually one day you'll wake up to all your files encrypted.

>>60736860
Reverse image search or use whatanime.ga to look it up you lazy sister fucker.

It's not actually hard: If you're installing something fishy you can run it on a Sandbox and that's it

Go to the sandboxie site, there's plenty of information

No he's right, it used a leaked NSA exploit in SMB1.0 to infiltrate Windows computers without the need for any user interaction.
