Right I'll start from the begging, was searching and checking e-mails today at work and as usual laugh at the "me love you long time e-mails" and I came across an e-mail that said *company name* report and it related to what we do as a business.

So I opened it and said blah blah blah here is your report, stupidly I opened the attachment without saving it to my desktop first and then virus scanning it, and noticed a little pop-up window that implied .exe *oh poo one then thinks*
Nothing really happened for a while and then computer starting playing up so ran two separate virus scanners neither came up with anything, not a problem but then my web traffic and incoming e-mails was really slow so to check I ran the DOS command netstat -a as I have experienced haccking before.
There must have been a 1000 or so different sites trying/failing/connecting to me remotely on port 25 some of them known bad sites *another oh poo* moment I thought but still nothing on virus scanner, so I re-booted :lol:
My second fail as I realised after not using windoze to install anything for months it needs a re-boot to fully install a program. Then my PC wouldn't load past the boot screen and I got the dreaded blue screen of death and then a re-boot. I could go into safe mode and low and behold trojan.downloader trojan.iwillkillomputer or whatever was residing in HD.
Removed them turned off system restore used CCleaner to clean my HD re-booted and the same boot-up procedure as before.

I have also tried using the recovery disk using the chkdsk /r command but to no avail. I have now run out of options and would like some pointers.
