I tried now, here's what I got:
mihai@mihai-desktop:~$ sudo usermod -a -G vbox username
[sudo] password for mihai:
mihai is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

That looks terrible, I'll be moving this thread to the Security Discussions section along with a new title, hopefully the people there can help you get over this attack.
In any case, what I know is, the best thing you can do right now is to do a clean reinstall.
Think carefully before executing commands containing "rm", especially "sudo rm -rf ", if you require more information concerning this matter, read this.
I am an experimenter, give me the most stable OS and I can make it unstable in a few hours.

Oh and one more thing, get off the internet and shut the thing down to prevent further damage, just get online with another PC until you fix this problem.

I'm dualbooting, I have a windows installed on my other hard drives...it's ok if I use it? O, will I have to reinstall my windows too?
Thank you guys! Uhhhm, any advices so this won't happen in the future?
I'm going to log in my windows, and delete the ubuntu partition along with the swap, and reinstall ubuntu.
The correct advice is one you won't want to hear...
Don't download random packages from all over the internet and install them haphazardly without knowing what you're doing! And certainly don't compromise the security of your system to get those packages installed. It shouldn't be necessary to take such a brute-force approach to getting some software set up and running.
Wipe the partition and start from scratch.
I'd agree that a clean install looks to be your only option.
Have you tried looking at your ~/.bash_history to see what command you might have entered?
Bothered, I'll keep that command in mind, it's too late now, I already wiped out everything.
Thanks again guys!
I tried wiping everything this way: restarting the pc, entering windows and deleting the ubuntu and swap partition...restarted the pc, entered the windows setup repair console, fixmbr...restarted the pc again, installed ubuntu, everything went great. But now, when I changed my screen resolution a part of the screen was using the wallpaper before I wiped ubuntu.
My question is:
Is it possible that some of the configs, settings didn't get deleted? Or are they stored anywere else besides the ubuntu '/' and swap partition?
That depends - do you have any other partitions, e.g. a partition mounted to /home?
