I wrote an article a while back that may help you out.

You may lose some of your data because the old files are corrupt but the data recovery program should get most of it.

I'm not sure how the blackmail worm works so it is hard to say for sure that you'll get your data back. If the worm writes zeros to your hardrive, then you could have a problem.

Good Luck.
