firewall wouldnt of helped you against an email virus anyway, just need to be more careful on what you open.
IMO i dont like thoes firewalls anyway. i prefer one thats not running directly on my system so it uses no sys resourses.
and you really should just go out and buy Norton or Mcaffee Virus protection programs. they might of cought this much sooner.
As for what to do now. try a virus scan. if it cant do anything you probably will just have to reformat.
I enjoy a nice reformat once and a while anyway. hehe
