Ransomware shield

Ransomware tries to lock your photos and documents and then asks for money. TotalHeal watches your important folders and stops a program that starts rewriting them.

What it does

  • Decoy files
    Hidden canary files sit in each protected folder. Nothing legitimate opens them; ransomware does.
  • Burst detection
    An app rewriting many files in seconds, with scrambled-looking content, is flagged at once.
  • Suspend first, then ask
    The process is paused and you decide: allow it once, keep it blocked, or quarantine it.
  • Protected folders and allowed apps
    Documents, Desktop and Pictures are protected by default. Add your own folders and trusted apps.

What it can’t do: TotalHeal can’t undo changes already made before it stepped in. Keep a backup (Time Machine, File History or another backup) — Cloud backup is coming to Ultimate.

Questions

Will it block my photo editor or backup app?
Apps you use every day are learned quickly, and you can add any app to Allowed apps in one click. You are always asked before anything is blocked permanently.
