[clamav-users] ransomware

[Al Varnell]

I'm certain that the answer to your first question is yes, as there are almost 15,000 signatures in the current database that specifically address ransomware and have been since they first appeared. Most address the Windows platform. Ransomware detection and removal is no different from that used for any other type of malware.

I'm unaware of any testing by an independent organization that included specialized ransomware software and am certain that any such testing would vary by platform, and you haven't specified what platform(s) you are interested in.
