x2 on everything you just said.
I work in educational IT which is just so much worse.
Running MWB is a surefire way to remove most malware, but seriously sometimes the only to be sure is to literally nuke it from low earth orbit (reformat).
On my own computer I backup regularly. On user's computers I instruct them to back up to their network share. My mantra is always, "We can't guarantee the safety of your data if you don't save onto the network."
Regardless I want to be 100% sure that there isn't any trace of the crap leftover and the only way is to re image the machine.
