What ZoneAlarm Anti-Ransomware is

ZoneAlarm Anti-Ransomware is paid Windows software that detects and blocks ransomware, then restores encrypted files. It analyzes suspicious PC activity and may identify ransomware threats that other PC security solutions miss. PC Shield blocks malicious attempts to lock the computer. The included Web Secure browser extension adds phishing protection, download scanning, content filtering, and threat emulation for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Brave. ZoneAlarm says Anti-Ransomware can work alongside other antivirus, firewall, and PC security software, but excludes ZoneAlarm Extreme and Check Point Endpoint products. Requirements include Windows 10 or 11, 2 GB of RAM, a 2 GHz or faster processor, 1.2 GB of available disk space, and a periodic internet connection. The listed plan costs $51.95 a year for one Windows PC, shown as $51.95 for the first year alongside $54.95. A 30-day trial, 30-day money-back guarantee, and 24/7 online help are offered.
