Cool glad it worked.

This stuff sucks. Glad it's working out for you. If everything is backed up you can always format the drive and do a fresh install of your OS.
Just as a reminder, always backup your data. There are several options, I like to use a program called crashplan it has a free option to backup data to your other computers or friends computers, and a pay option to back it up to their servers. It's pretty straightforward to setup and use, and could save you from catastrophic loss.
I backup all of my stuff on an external HD.
I know the kind of worm you got.... my sister-in-law did the same thing. I set up her antivirus to do auto scans and auto quarantine and NOT to prompt her for anything. So I told her that if she ever gets a pop up requesting her action to "scan" something, exit out and don't click it. Also warned my wife about those types of viruses.
I have a TB server that I back up my computer on too so I wasn't as concerned about losing my files as I was about not being able to use my computer.

Well if everything is backed up then it's not a huge deal to wipe the hard drive and reinstall. Should only take a few hours. Of course it happens at the worst time. I got my all my stuff backed up just in time. About 3 weeks after I backed everything up my drive crashed in the laptop. Sucked! Now I just need to figure out how to add another drive to the server to backup everything on it.
