ChatGPT: There are many data encryption software options available, and the best one for you will depend on your specific needs and requirements. Some popular options include:

• VeraCrypt: a free, open-source software that allows you to create encrypted containers or encrypt entire partitions on your computer.
• BitLocker: a built-in encryption feature in Windows that allows you to encrypt entire drives on your computer.
• AxCrypt: a free, open-source software that allows you to encrypt individual files.
• TrueCrypt: a free, open-source software that allows you to create encrypted containers or encrypt entire partitions on your computer, but it is no longer being developed.
• PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is a data encryption and decryption computer program that provides cryptographic privacy and authentication for data communication.

Ultimately, the best encryption software for you will depend on your specific needs, budget, and technical expertise. It’s a good idea to research and compare different options to find the one that best suits your needs.

Bitdefender Internet Security and Bitdefender Total Security have a anti ransomware module.
I don’t know if the simple antivirus version also has it.
So even if a ransomware is not detected and blocked by the program, all your files will be restored automatically by the module if they become encrypted.
I use Bitdefender Internet Security to protect my PC and my laptop.

I use Bitdefender Internet Security 2020 (1 year license protection for 3 devices) that has  multi-layered protection against ransomware, but I wanted another program that can increase protection against ransomware and that does not affect antivirus solution.
So I installed Zone Alarm anti-ransomware protection trial mode.
I hoped that I will get a 30 days free protection, but I got only 7 days trial of the product.
The good thing is that does not force you to give your email or other personal data (no credit card needed) so you can use the trial.
On there page when I wanted to close the page I get a better trial offer, 30 days instead of just 7.

I tried to install the 30 days version, but I got the same 7 days trial.
So first get on there page, click on the close button and get the 30 days trial.
I will save the 30 days trial install and I will use it next time I reinstall Windows, hoping that will work until then.
The price of 36.25€ for this software is high, and can be used on max 3 devices for 1 year.
You can buy Bitdefender Internet Security for $39.98 for the first year (3 devices, 1 year) and you get also anti-ransomware protection included, on bitdefender.com
