We have observed a massive peak in WanaCrypt0r 2.0 (aka WCry) ransomware attacks today, with more than 57,000 detections, so far.[…] Avast detects all known versions of WanaCrypt0r 2.0, but we strongly recommend all Windows users fully update their system with the latest available patches. We will continue to monitor this outbreak and update this blog post when we have further updates.

The best precautiion is installing an antivirus. If you install an antivirus, you can prevent the Ransomware to be entered to your system and you may also use the Anti-Ransomware tool to protect on your system.
