New Trojan that Demands a Ransom

There is a new virus out there discovered by virus hunters known as "Cryzip". The Trojan encrypts your files and then demands a $300 ransom for the decryption password to get your files back. After encrypting the files, the virus leaves a nice step-by-step guide of how to go about paying the ransom off. It's supposedly spread through email Spam, and has successfully evaded anti-virus scanners.

In addition to suggestion above. If you wish, you can also try:

1. Boot up with Windows Recovery disk or even with UBUNTU.
2. Navigate to: C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack. All the files under this folder are the backup registry files.
3. Copy them back to: C:\Windows\System32\config
4. Reboot the PC and cross your finger
