Virus & backups

Yesterday I accidentally clicked on a file which I knew it was a trojan. I’ve spent five hours today trying to get rid of it, without any luck. Thankfully I had a mildly recent backup, only 20 days old, and I was able to restore it without any problem thanks to Acronis True Image. However I lost my entire Games folder because I tried to remove the trojan/rootkit with a bad product called CounterSpy. In the end I think I didn’t lost anything due to the rootkit itself, which is kind of… Weird. Acronis True Image: good. Sunbelt CounterSpy: big, slow, bad, dangerous to use.
