Does MetaDefender Core v5 Detect the NotPetya Ransomware?

The voracious NotPetya ransomware attacks were first detected in Ukraine in 2017 and quickly spread across Europe and the world, continuing on their devastating course for approximately two years.

At the heart of the solution, the base MetaDefender Core multi-scanning engine uses up to 33 anti-malware engines to scan files for threats. Our detection rate is dependent on the number of enabled engines, with a higher number of engines increasing malware detection rates overall.

Currently, most of the engines included in our MetaDefender Core base packages acknowledge the NotPetya ransomware threat. Below is a package breakdown with relevant information provided by each of the engine vendors.
