You ran Malwarebites in safe mode?
I would download Avast free home and accept its boot scan. See what else is picked up.
Next I would enter Safe Mode with networking and download Spybot S&D, only its scan function, update and run. If it finds little or nothing, then run Malwarebites again in Safe Mode and you can probably retrieve your files.
If you dont' see any end to it this way, then download Darik's Boot and Nuke and zero the HD before installing Win7. Only when zeroed will you know nothing can rise from the grave.
Yap, after I backup my data to optical storage I will low level format everything and then I will thoroughly scan my DVD's.
And the passwords changed ...... I use foxmarks for bookmarks and password sync (but not the sensitive login into whm or so). it'll be a mouthfull...
I edited Darik's out of my OP (use DISKPART) because optical drive media can be compromised in these situations: use a Win7 DVD copy made on another machine, scan or discard after reinstall.
Boot scan upon reinstall with Avast free home, Spybot in Safe Mode, Win7 DVD first.
The retrieved data DVD's will be a corruption path into any OS.
