Question Would my antivirus protect me from Akira Ransomware ?

[dan99t]

Hi,

I am using Win-7 with last final 2020 update.

I am also using ESET Internet Security antivirus.

I have Fiber Internet connection with router.

Would any of above protect me from Akira Ransomware ?

I take precautions not to download any attachments in email or open suspicious emails but might make a mistake to open unknown websites.

Does router act as a hardware firewall or give any kind of protection ?

I do make back ups everyday but if I get infected & replace SSD & HDD, would putting back a back up SSD, HDD again get infected & if yes what should I do ?

Thank You
