I do frequent backups, just not of the whole system as I don't find it worth it. However this virus did not only corrupt the executables to the point of making a reinstall the obvious solution; it infected all the tools I use to make such reinstallation a more quick and comfortable process.

Not to mention the 2TB of data I must scan until I am sure I got rid of that thingy.
