How Appcheck Pro defends you against Ransomware?

With more than 150,000 users, AppCheck Pro is a proven solution for ransomware detection in a variety of user environments.

The CARB engine, developed by CheckMAL, is a key technology for judging the situation at the time of file modification without any signature or pattern. By monitoring the change of the file in real-time, accurate detection and recovery are possible.

Differences from conventional security software?

The program monitors file change and determines whether the file change is either normal or malicious. It offers backup the original file to Ransom Shelter. 
Detect malicious file modification process. If continuous file damaging is detected, the process is determined as ransomware. The process is blocked and all damaged files are recovered. Users can continue task without any additional follow-up.

This unique feature differentiates from conventional security software, that is not affected by the detection rate even in an environment where the Internet is unavailable. Since it can judge the damage of the file by itself, this puts unique position while most other analysis system is replying to cloud assisted method.

Thanks for the review and giveaway.
In the meantime, my current solution to ensure safety is a built-in Windows Defender. And I need AppCheck Pro to protect my computer in real time from ransomware and ransomware viruses. 
The program will undo malicious changes as well as create backup copies of the files before they are corrupted.

I am using the free version of AppCheck and am quite satisfied with it with the know that its there protecting me/my system. I was not lucky to win professional version in any forum and thanks here I have chance. The ransom guard plus exploit and backup is not seen in any other software and that is what makes AppCheck a cut above rest softwares. Please count me as contestant! Again tarekma7 you rock with contests here!

I would like to try Appcheck as a second line of defense.
I'm using kaspersky IS

Thanks for the detailed review and opportunity to win in this giveaway @tarekma7!

My current security is ESET Internet Security + Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium. My anti-malware sometimes can't detect suspicious files and becomes unreliable at times. With AppCheck, I can be secured from outside threats and will serve as first line of defense when my current security fails or won't respond.

Thanks for the Giveaway!
I am using Kaspersky Internet Security as my current security software. I need AppCheck because it can judge and detect the situation at time of file modification without any signature or pattern to block the process and recover damaged files to defend the system from ransomware. My security software is of older release and cannot detect ransomware. This AppCheck can provide ma with an additioanl layer of defense and protection to my system.

My current security software for Windows is F-Secure. It works well, but I would like to use CheckMal to supplement it.
Features that I feel could supplement my current setup in Windows:
-Ransomshelter sounds promising, by backing up files in real time, before they are damaged by ransomware attacks.
This is in addition to the proactive protection against said ransomware.
-MBR and GPT table protection also very important against rootkit and ransomware attacks, that can alter the system from startup already.
-The Office Exploit protection is also a good idea, as this is not really an area focused on by traditional antiviruses.
