+1 for MBAM real time monitoring never allowing any malware infection.This is the first I've heard of MBAM Real Time not being able to block malware. Did you click on something to allow the malware to download? This is how most malware gets in. I see users do this all the time allowing spyware during freeware installs due to not watching closely the checkbox choices. I'm not sure of the transmission method of ransomware but it may have presented itself at some point for you to choose or not. Do you remember this? If not and there was no action on your part that might be better safeguarded in the future, then I don't know what you can do except study the specific Ransomware via google to learn solutions which might offer prevention measures or avoidance techniques.
