I had a scare myself this last weekend. My XP drive caught a virus. I had 1699 infected files. No typo there either. One-thousand six-hundred ninety-nine!! Almost every executable on my system. Luckily it was not a virus that infects the MBR. I was able to save most of my documents through backing up uninfected files to my wife's computer, but I lost programs that are almost impossible to find that I've lost the disks for. On top of that, the stock CPU cooler in my machine quit and I had to replace it to stop my computer from singing the processor overheat aria. The only good thing that came out of it was that the cooler I replaced it with keeps the CPU at the same temp as the motherboard. No fried processor for me!
