This would be the time for me to turn on paranoid mode, since éven after a "repair" I am not able to put trust in my installation anymore. I would format and reinstall, not using any saved data from the time period since you became aware of something beeing messed up.

Guys, use an installation image on a separate drive to do a backup of your basic installation. that way reinstallaing is a breeze, only updates and working files/save games you need to copy over by hand. This has been one of the best investments in my PC I ever did. Acronis software 45 euros, second HD in frame 50-60 euros - "und gut is'. " just do not leave the image HD connected to the computer, so that it cannot get infested. Physical separation/interruption is always a million times better than any software solution to protect a device from something - every software code can be beaten.
