    Reveton is Dead! No more FBI/Police scareware!

    Here's the article.

    Since the servers are now going to be dead for the infector I won't be seeing it hit PCs much anymore. I will tell you the easy way to fix this issue.
    Download the Kaspersky Rescue Disk
    Use the disk to explore the hard drive.
    Rename your profile that was infected. Such as OldAccount or something not similar to the old one.
    If you want use the CD to scan your system.
    Reboot the PC
    Log back in as your old account, it will create a new one.
    Download the TDSS Killer and Combofix
    Run them.
    Copy what you want from the renamed account to the new version of your profile.
    Congratulations, you now have done the easy way of fixing the Reveton infection.
    One Script to rule them all.
    One Script to find them.
    One Script to bring them all,
    and clean up after itself.
