Or protect yourself also against unkown Malware with Hardened mode Agressive, so only whitelisted files can be opened :

Avast - Settings - General - Enable Hardened mode  - Agressive.

Imo Avast has an impressive whitelist, so I use it myself and recommend it to the Avast users I help as well

There is a new component planned named Software Analyzer and I can confirm it's highly effective against regular malware as well as ransomware. And they might also release additional specific anti-ransomware protection during this year...
