New Twist on FBI Ransomware Virus

Hopefully you have never encountered this nasty virus.  I say nasty because it really does lock down your system and causes hell of the highest order.  Initial strains of the virus were easy to defeat.  Boot into safe mode, download a recent copy of RogueKiller and it's gone.  Well, today, I had the unique pleasure of finding out new strains will not allow you to boot into Safe Mode.  Actually it does, but the moment the desktop starts, the virus initiates a shutdown.  For those who encounter this, yes, there is a solution.  Check out this link for various ways to strike back.  In the future, lay off the porn......yeah, I know you werent watching any.....
