My computer has popped up with a SHITLOAD of corrupt files, MyspaceIM, iTunes, MSN, almost EVERYTHING is corrupted.

Needs help on restoration! O_O

Should i use system Recovery?

I'm also infected with a trojan, can this be the cause?

Trojan won't affect your program and make it corrupted.. Your program corrupted most properly is attack by virus. I not suggesst you to use system restore because even you restore to previous save point, the virus is still inside your system.. maybe the virus already damage your windows file.. so, format your windows is the best way.. ^^

P/S sorry for my poor grammar

I'm sorry, Elias. I'm not good with computers.

However, once your computer is back to normal (or once you get a new one), get Windows Live OneCare. With this, your chance of getting another virus will be slim to none.
