If you're running XP, have you tried running system restore? It might be a long shot trying to revert to a previous point before the crash, but you could get lucky. I doubt that it will remove all traces of the virus, but at least you might be able to bring back your trash.
If you run antivirus, do it in safe mode (F8 on windows startup). Many of the virus processes won't be allowed to run, you can manipulate files more easily, and you might not have those crashes that you've been experiencing.
