Nothing makes it feel better or worse for that matter, just trying to explain the process how it happened. It doesn't phase me a great deal, as AVG has already cleared the malware and Kasperky's decrypt will do it's job in the system files + what little media I do keep on there. The only concerning thing is if it was actually a target, because then there's a vulnerability in my firewall, perhaps through Steam. It would not surprise me if some kid hacking in the game was able to use Crypto to avenge a war of words he lost. Seems too coincidental.
I didn't visit anything out of the ordinary, so unless hotmail or hotcopper or sau got hacked, I'd say it could well be a target.
