I assume you don't have a backup routine?

Realistically, a bootable Linux USB* may allow you to access the data - but it'll depend how 'deep' the infection goes. Your data may be infected directly, or encrypted if you try to open it in a non-native OS. If you can recover it this way, just make sure you run in-depth virus scans on the files directly.

*Or, connected as a secondary drive on another Windows install.

PayPal should be able to assist with the hacking of that aspect, your Bitcoin wallet though....... that's likely gone, i'm afraid.


Use this as a learning experience - implement backup procedures (preferable automatic), and improve your online security practices (either in behaviour and/or anti-virus security).

you would need to do a fresh install of windows to get rid of the virus. Do that means lossing all your data. if you can access the hdd using linux or system recovery tools to backup some of your files. like media, personal files, game saves, documents. then again the virus could of compromised the files therefore rendering the backup useless
