Where did I get the Ransom:Win64/Proton.MB!MTB?
General tactics of Ransom:Win64/Proton.MB!MTB spreading are basic for all other ransomware variants. Those are one-day landing sites where users are offered to download and install the free software, so-called bait emails and hacktools. Bait e-mails are a quite modern method in malware spreading – you get the e-mail that imitates some standard notifications about deliveries or bank service conditions updates. Within the e-mail, there is a corrupted MS Office file, or a link which opens the exploit landing page.

Malicious email message. This one tricks you to open the phishing website.
Preventing it looks quite uncomplicated, but still demands tons of focus. Malware can hide in different spots, and it is far better to prevent it even before it invades your system than to trust in an anti-malware program. General cybersecurity knowledge is just an essential item in the modern-day world, even if your interaction with a PC remains on YouTube videos. That may save you a lot of money and time which you would spend while seeking a solution.
