The attacker is normally not at all interested in your data unless it is
for passwords or credit card numbers. What normally happens is the
attacked accidentaly destabilized the OS and causes you to lose your
data anyway. Lots of people have had to reinstall their windows boxes
because various viruses/trojans etc. started causing them problems.
I'd like to see a virus that exploits IE's autorun "feature (bug)" to download (and install) a random alternate browser and then delete <c:\windows\ie.exe>.
