"Could there be more unhappiness waiting for me?'

Only about a 98% chance - sorry.

Scan your system with your anti-virus program, delete any infected files found, then update the anti-virus program and repeat.

Then visit the website for the anti-virus program you have, or go to http://securityresponse.symantec.com/ and look up the worms mentioned in the article:  Kelvir.a   and   Kelvir.b   and    Sumon.a    and    Bropia  (link describes this older worm - real nasty)

Here's the free Bropia removal tool from Symantec. 

And the removal instructions from Symantec for:  W32.Kelvir.E  kelvir.a  and  Kelvir.B  Couldn't find any for Sumon.a

The removal instructions all seem to have the same procedures, so once through should catch the above 3 worms.

You also might want to check out the IM Threat Center - this website has a list of IM threats and good info.

Good Luck,
RT
