For the uninitiated, ransomware is software that is specifically designed to prevent authorized users from accessing or using their data stored on computers. Rebit Personal’s ransomware protection feature helps you protect your backed-up data from ransomware. Whenever a user tries to back up a ransomware-infected file to Rebit, the backup process of that particular file is halted. Users will be informed about the presence of ransomware file(s) on their device via the Rebit Personal window and expanded view, as shown.
