For me this is just one of hundreds of good reasons why every user should be using drive imaging software as part of their backup and recovery strategy.
Drive Imaging software makes an exact copy of your hard drive/partitions, this should be run periodically and I would say not less than once a week.
This way if you experience a serious problem and this doesn’t have to mean a virus/malware attack, you restore the last drive image.
