My laptop (HP ProBook 4540s) is giving me hard time to boot from USB flash
so hard it made me do this thread, any ideas what is going on wrong with it?

Assuming you're trying to boot a modern OS
Boot From EFI File -> your flash drive -> EFI -> boot -> bootx64.efi
If you're trying to boot an old OS, go into BIOS setup (F10 on startup), System Configutation -> Boot Options -> uncheck UEFI Boot, F10, Yes.

Im trying to boot Windoes 7 Live from USB flash drive, but when I go to EFI -> boot -> bootx64.efi
and select it, it automatically loads the installend Windoes 8
I know it cant be from the flash, as I ran it on many other laptops, but this one particulary, is eating my nerves.
enable legacy support in bios, disable secure boot

That's not the flash drive, that's your hard drive.
For Windows 7 using UEFI, you need to have the flash drive formatted as FAT32, and you need to add the boot64.efi file to the flash drive yourself, from a system running 7, copy the file C:\Windows\boot\EFI\bootmgfw.efi to the flash drive in EFI\boot and rename it bootx64.efi
Or disable UEFI and boot it in legacy mode, you'll probably need to completely wipe the hard drive, so from the Windows installer, hit F10 to open up a command pronpt, then run
diskpart
list disk
select disk n (your HDD)
clean
convert mbr
exit
exit
then continue with the install.

You sir are awesome!
Now if you only tell me how to decrypt my files, I would be most grateful, they have added ".exx" extension for example: birthday.jpg.exx

all your data files are cryptoscrewed already. booting from a usb ain't gonna fix that. gonna have to pay up to get them decrypted. if you removed the crypto programs from the drive, your files are gone forever.

nothing removed, just renaamed the from cryptovirus.exe the ".exe" part so it wont strt
kinda of a bumpt
I guess technology havent advanced enought to be able to decrypt files
