my best advice is if you see the virus attempt to infect your PC is to shut it off on the spot by holding the power button in for 30 seconds. shutting down via the menu allows the program to add itself to System Restore plus several other locations. many times that will keep the full infection from happening which makes removal easier.
Also shut off system restore as it puts itself in there also making removal almost impossible.
I like malwarebytes for removal of this infection. You may have to rename the MBAM.EXE to bob.exe to get malwarebytes to run after infection. Popular malware programs may be blocked from running. Safe mode is another option but I have seen recent variants that keep safe mode from running. Disconnecting from the network will also prevent further infections from installing while you try to remove the original one.
Combofix.exe is another good one to use but it may cause other issues with programs you already have installed. I have had that happen with one particular software package we use at work. I did find a cure for that issue though. Use combofix.exe at your own risk. It is not for the faint of heart.
Best of luck to those who are already infected. giving custom removal instructions via this forum is most difficult.
