Thanks. I understand what you are saying however I have a concern. The ransomware shield seems to act indescrimitately, in other words it blocks a process whatever app calls it genuine or rogue. isn’t there a danger that your blocking the process for a genuine app could result in data loss or corruption of data?
Ransomware shield protects only select file types and these only in directories the user selects. While there are some theoretical scenarios where data could be lost and corrupted (eg. badly written app that needs to modify multiple files atomically and does not cope correctly with access errors), it is highly unlikely for the types of files we protect. What is possible (and expected) is that "legit" apps may fail to write protected files. While this may lead to a loss of data, it is never silent (the app is notified about forbidden access).
So when protecting files via Ransomware shield, verify, that your tools work correctly, and, if necessary, whitelist them. When all is working, you have yet another layer of protection on files you care about.
