Bitcoins stolen - advice needed

Hi,

I am guessing I am screwed but any help you can provide is appreciated. Back in Dec 2013 I was running armory (password encrypted) on my windows & laptop.  As it only had 4gb RAM I couldn't get the blockchain to update so I upgraded to a Win8 machine with 8gb.  After which the RAM requirement had decreased anyway.

After installing armory for the first time I just couldn't get the to work - kept hanging every time it synced and then crashed when entering my password.  After uninstalling and reinstalling a few times and restoring my wallet. All was well.  The password worked.

Just checked today and all 14.38 BTC were stolen on the 6th Jan via 7 transactions, a couple weeks after restoring the wallet.  I have no idea how considering the wallet was encrypted.  This password could not have been bruteforced.

They were stolen from this address and all addresses I had associated with it in the wallet - 17JtGPjxJtpNA2vqSbNAMLjBet2Q4s8Fpx

This has wiped me out and I guess tracing them is not a worthwhile excercise?

Any ideas or advice welcome.  No infections or spyware found.

Much appreciated
