Hello, Trevor.
The answer is yes, but AV are limited due to ransomware continuous evolving. The old cat and mouse metaphor.

Good to know that there may be at least a tidbit of detection offered.

Thanks for your response Rodney!!!!

The efficiency of antivirus (AV) software in detecting ransomware varies depending on the type of ransomware, the detection techniques used by the AV software, and whether the ransomware is new or unknown.
