The question that keeps cropping up for me when I have to clean up one of these infections is:- how do you put the payment card information in to your computer when it has frozen you out and it doesn't give you the information to put on the payment card.
Download Emsisoft on to another machine into it's own folder, it doesn't install you run it from the .exe as a standalone. Run the app and update it. You now have two choices. You can slave the harddrive from the infected machine to the machine with Emsisoft and run a scan on the infected harddrive, or copy the whole folder containing the updated Emsisoft to a pendrive and try and run it before the infected machine freezes or try running it in safemode. I have had success with both methods.
