Overview

Ransomware Protector is a software program developed by Systweak Software. During setup, the program registers itself to launch on boot through a Windows Schedule Task in order to automatically start-up (this is typically done to avoid any UAC prompts). Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The primary executable is named ransomwareprotector.exe. Many users end up uninstalling this after less than a month of it being installed. The setup package generally installs about 20 files and is usually about 31.38 MB (32,899,100 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of those who have this installed, most are running it on Windows 10. While about 83% of users of Ransomware Protector come from the United States, it is also popular in United Kingdom.
