My mum got this on her laptop. Checked some guides on youtube and fixed it. Pretty simple.
I got this nasty from some site when I was site hoping for stable E3 2012 streams, MSE got most of the payload, and Malware bytes got the rest. Not before it had Encrypted a vast majority of my files though. The actual .exe spoofed it self as deamon tools with some odd file names (Which I dont ever use), and was undetected by anything.
There was still something left that i needed Kaspersky TDSSKiller to get rid of some rootkit afterwards. Encrypted files were recovered using Kaspersky rannohdecryptor, which required you have a backup of at least one file that was encrypted (as they will all use the same key). Whats interesting is that it took minutes to encrypt terrabytes of files, and a day or two to decrypt them.
I have since uninstalled Java since I noticed a fair few adds kept trying to load it for some reason, and it seems all java is good for these days is for spreading trojens.

yes this the police haev NOTHING to do and really want 10's of 1000's of calls saying I got malware....
It's only believable when you hear people shouting "police, police" and the sound of many footsteps approaching your bedroom door at 6am.
I had a an FBI one of the other day, was a bugger to get rid of. I went for the quick option and rebuilt my pc in the end (ok after a couple of virus scans i gave up).
