Can Antivirus Remove Ransomware?

Introduction

Antivirus software is often the first line of defense against malware, but can it effectively remove ransomware? While antivirus programs are designed to detect and remove malicious software, they may not always succeed against sophisticated ransomware attacks.

How Antivirus Works

Antivirus software scans files and systems for known malware signatures. When it detects a threat, it isolates and removes the malicious files. However, ransomware often uses advanced encryption and evasion techniques, making it harder to detect and remove.

Limitations of Antivirus for Ransomware

1. Limited Detection: Some ransomware variants use zero-day exploits that bypass antivirus software.
2. No File Decryption: Antivirus software cannot decrypt files encrypted by ransomware.
3. Reactive Approach: Antivirus programs often respond after an infection has occurred.
