I'm sure glad I won't have to format my entire HD.
I'll scan my computer once more with BitDefender and Kaspersky to be
sure it's clean and I'll report back if anything suspicious turns up.

If I may *** in, after doing the above, image your hard drive to a
USB drive, from which you could burn it to DVDs. Repeat weekly, making
incremental backups weekly and full backups monthly, to avoid future
anguish. The probability of getting screwed by malware or a bad
install is proportional to the time since last image. I also back up
critical files to a slave drive hourly, using Cobiam Backup.
