Limits of ransomware protection changed?

I am getting request to select a SINGLE folder, using Folder Shield, for ransomware protection.  Do I get only one?  I thought the entire computer was (previously) protected from ransomware.

Hi @jdsparks, thanks for trying our new Community! 

You are right, Trend Micro Security has process and features that help to your entire computer protect from ransomware. You can refer to the link below for detailed information:
Ransomware: Introduction, Prevention and Trend Micro Security Solutions

One of the newest features of the 2017 version is the folder shield. Folder Shield feature prevents ransomware from maliciously encrypting your files and holding them hostage until you pay the attacker. but only can be used on one folder per computer. You can refer to this link for more information:
Using the Folder Shield feature of Trend Micro Security

Please let me know if you have more concerns or questions by replying here. Thank you.
