I've been attacked by one of those virus known as cryptlockers.
Now I'm trying to find something that will keep me safe from them.
Do you know if there are antivirus or anti malware that incorporate this protection ?
I'm using Norton security but I'm not sure it has it.
thanks

Norton is pretty crap as AV goes. There are much better alternatives, but with cryptolockers its hard to block as you have to open an attachment or similar to infect your pc.

Malwarebytes, Eset NOD32, and common sense, should stop you from getting infected.
 
I heard of some specific tools and I found them, but they're still in beta version and I don't know if even malwarebyte has already incorporate a protection for this kind of threat.
 
CryptoPrevent was made especially to stop Cryptolocker but it also stops malware as well

CryptoPrevent Malware Prevention – Foolish IT

I downloaded, installed and have used the free version for about 2 years with no problems

Nice bronto, but again its a bit of common sense. Never open stuff you dont know what it is, dont install stupid files.

Lastly dont use windows :) Although they're attacking linux these days as well.
 
I use avast free version along with some of the other malware that other users have mentioned I use mailwasher to check my emails before they are downloaded so far avast has spotted them all as a virus before I downloaded any so I could just delete from isp server first I have had quite a few claiming to be from people I knew I am guessing from the jokes people tend to forward to m8's as most do at times
