No RAM was reconfigured as regards demanding programmes? (10)

I believe the answer is:

ransomware

'demanding programmes?' is the definition.
(computer programmes which demand money)

'no ram was reconfigured as regards' is the wordplay.
'reconfigured' indicates anagramming the letters.
'as regards' becomes 're' (re can mean regarding or concerning).
'no'+'ram'+'was'='noramwas'
'noramwas' anagrammed gives 'ransomwa'.
'ransomwa'+'re'='RANSOMWARE'
