One to look out for...

The T***s who created Vundo have created a new virus that infects the system, and encrypts the users My Document’s – and then tries to make the user buy some software to decrypt the files.

The following site has some excellent information on removing it, including tools to decrypt the files without paying the gits! lol

Also Malwarebytes should remove AV2009 but it won't decrypt the files.

What utter W*****s!

I can see this causing some real headaches for some people

Cheers for the heads up

Edit: Seems there are some tools for decrypting files that affected by this nasty

this is probably the safest option
