Hi there
1) DISCONNECT MACHINE FRON NET AND LAN
1) scan the DATA FILES for infection - Disk by disk and copy OK data to brand new CD / DVD -R. After copy when each disk is full FINALIZE it this will stop any further writes to the CD / DVD so clean files won't get infected.
2) once you are happy you have a clean computer with clean HDD's you can then copy your data from the CD's / DVD's you've just made to HD.
3) Now you can re-connect to LAN and net - but scan your machine regularly.
You shouldn't have to "trash" most of your old data files.
(Actually the idea of sending back a Tax return to the tax authorities with a virus in it sounds very appealing - but unless the thought of doing serious jail time doesn't bother you - don't do it).
Cheers
