Anyone had this kind of virus

I downloaded window 7x64 from msft site, installed on new drive, copied all my original files, and backup files to laptop harddrive.  Intent to recover original system using factory settings using clean window 7 copy. The machine started the activation notice after 3 days,  i was not registering new copy but restoring original copy on  Laptop, it started acting strange then it started denying me access to opening,deleting files. So after research on trustinstaller issues i granted the administrator those rights. My backup drive attached to laptop i started copying all needed files back to original places. Then all of a sudden a window pops up showing files zipping across rapidly as i realized files were being deleted or removed preventing any kind of recovery leaving 1 file system, and removing  anything else to reinstall, recover, restore. anything MSFT like pdfs or programs to aid in recovery or boot PE's  were gone, file recovery of any kind gone. Programs related to boot or rescue deleted but only removed files needed to exe the Program. Any external device plugged in to the machine would have their files deleted if contained files like wims, or recovery, antivirus programs have files deleted & did so to compressed folders, iso, bin. Put new HD & it corrupts the disk preventing install of any operating sys, linux too. Any disk placed in cdrom would have files erased  or disabled, if related to windows or programs containing anything that would aid in recovering machine As well as any antivirus programs. Couldnt find any one on web with simular problem. People had lost files or got things deleted but these deletions seemed very specific & selective nothing  deleted or removed were random. I would like to know what happened because didn't believe this was a virus but rather some internal MSFT security measure in software or something? I need to know why this happened and how i get my files back. There was no illegal software, everything legitimate. I placed some of my usb drives used on laptop and it affected the other machines with the same virus that acted some security measure by leaving enough of the files to allow that 1 window system to run. But not change in any way. That 1 file set allowing operation couldn't even create restore point & recovery ability gone. What kind of viruses do some of things i mentioned? Is there some msft security measure like that iam unaware of or some smart worm. if I'm  wrong what should i be looking for and how do I remove it
