That's the group policy toolkit.

However it doesn't work for all of the ransomware variants so it's not a silver bullet either.

    You can also use proper pixies to restrict where software can run.
    I've blocked the user profile folder and added an exception for
    the desktop and a couple of other places that I can't recall.
    Users have to move downloaded apps to ther desktop to install. I
    haven't had a Cryptowall infection in 2 years.

    there's no silver bullet here.

    Silverlight/flash/java.  Use it,patch it or lose it.

    Web filtering at the firewall.  If your firewall doesn't provide
    web filtering/UTM options it's time to upgrade. Home users look at
    OpenDNS (yes even now that Cisco is buying them)

    Filter attachments/zips.

    Least priv/non admin.

    Block the app location (yes this impacts firefox and office
    installs)  Google foolishit for non domain or cryptolocker group

    Education to your users that that email you got isn't a legit email.
