can I take it that my whole system will be clean? I'm worried now that by recovering my files on D, E,F,G and H, that my system may become re-infected. Any help here would be appreciated.

There is no guarantee. If there happens to have been an executable file on any of those drives that HAS BEEN RUN it will likely have been penetrated by this infection.
As MoralTerror has already told you this is a very unfortunate infection with very few tools that can remove it.
HOWEVER I would like to offer the following as a last chance at disinfection. I have tested this procedure on my own test machine and has worked flawlessly but as always, there is no guarantee.
<edit> Have a few ideas for recovering your files as well, but we will address that later</edit>
Please print out these instructions or save this Page to your desktop for later viewing while in safe mode.
Downloads
Please
Download Dr.Web CureIT! and save it to your desktop.
DO NOT RUN IT YET
Boot Into Safe Mode
Restart your computer and boot into
Safe Mode by hitting the F8 key repeatedly until a menu shows up (and choose Safe Mode from the list). In some systems, this may be the F5 key, so try that if F8 doesn't work.
Run Downloaded Tools
Once in safe mode, double click the file "drweb-cureit.exe" on your desktop and click "ok" in the prompt that follows.
It will first make a quick scan of your systems running processes, let it clean what it finds (if anything). When You are shown a map of your computers drives, " Click on the green screwdriver button at the top. Then, under the actions tab, use the
5 dropdown menus
on the right and select "delete" for each one. Then hit "apply" and "ok."
Now Click on the drive(s) you want to scan. A red dot will mark the selected drive(s) . Then hit the green arrow on the center right side. It will now scan your drive(s), say yes to all prompts for cleaning.
When finished Reboot back to normal mode and give us the heads up that you've finished,then we will likely follow up with another online scan.
Good Luck
Skate
