RansomWare Attack in Europe based on Petya
Was notified by a friend in the USA that their company is under ransom ware attack and the miscreants are asking 300 USD equivalent in BitCoins to free each device. They mentioned Petya. With all this being so wide spread I did a cursory check to see what is going on. It is notable to me that I keep hearing about hospitals being affected.

REG_DWORD: 0 = Disabled
REG_DWORD: 1 = Enabled
Default: 1 = Enabled
