Hard Drive Read Error

I've got a WD 80 gig drive. Over the last week I've been trying to get rid of some malware off my computer. I've been running scans, and rebooting frequently. The computer froze up a couple of times during the last week too which I blamed on the malware. Well yesterday during a reboot I got the message saying "could not load os". I plugged the drive into my laptop using a usb connection and it didn't recognize it. Checked windows disk management and it wasn't there either. I then put it back in the desktop, ran testdisk and all I got was read errors. I let it finish reading the entire drive and it didn't read a thing.

Now I've tried the freezer thing for 4 hours and it still wasn't recognized via usb on my laptop. I assume now I need to send it to a data recovery/hard drive repair shop.

Can anyone recommend a place that doesn't cost a arm or leg or my truck? I found one called Gillware but want to know if there are any others comparable to this company.

Thanks for your help.
