CryptoPrevent is a tiny utility to lock down any Windows OS (XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, and 10) to prevent infection by the Cryptolocker malware or ‘ransomware’, which encrypts personal files and then offers decryption for a paid ransom.

Incidentally, due to the way that CryptoPrevent works, it actually protects against a wide variety of malware, not just Cryptolocker!
