Greetings --

You've contracted a variant of the rather old, but world-renowned,
Love Letter worm.

It's *prevented* by installing a good antivirus application and
keeping its virus definition files up-to-date. (And by exercising a
little common sense in the acceptance of email attachments and
avoiding peer-to-peer file sharing applications such as KaZaA and
Morpheus.)

There is, to the best of my knowledge, no way to recover the
infected photos (*.jpg files), as they've all be overwritten with
copies of the worm. I hope you had them backed up to tape or CD. Any
*.mp3's may be recoverable, as they get copied to hidden files.
