Could it be possible that MS knew that there was a problem with Windows 7 and therefore now sent a fix for it? Otherwise it is a miracle I cannot explain because I haven't had the chance to do the Windows reinstall that was suggested.
Microsoft includes in the monthly updates a tool called the Malicious Software Removal Tool. This 'update' scans your disk for well-known and newly dangerous infections, and cleans them. It is very possible that it fixed your problem.

The tool leaves a log in c:\windows\debug\mrt.log. If it did something for you, some trace should be left in that file.
