Hey pearancencessec, 
I'm sorry you're running into this issue trying to boot from the recovery partition. It sounds like the recovery partition has become corrupt and can't be booted from anymore. It is rare that a virus would affect the recovery partition but you can always order recovery discs which will work the same way. It may not be a virus it could be a hard drive failure.
First you will want to make sure your hard drive is functioning properly though. Run a hard drive test from HP F2 diagnostics. 
Turn off the computer.
Use one of the following methods:
Turn on the computer and immediately press the F2 key repeatedly, about once every second, until the HP System Diagnostics program opens.
OR
Turn on the computer and immediately press the Escape key repeatedly, about once every second, until the Startup menu opens. Then press F2 . 
The System Diagnostics window allows you to run several diagnostic tests. Each test determines if the hardware is functioning properly, and displays an error message and a warranty ID if there is a hardware failure.
Choose Hard Disk Test. The Smart Check, Short DST and Optimized DST all pertain to the hard drive. If any of those fail, the hard drive will need to be replaced. If they all pass, you will only need to order the recovery discs to load Windows back onto the machine. 
You can order them from:
here (if you're in the U.S.)
OR
here (if you're outside the U.S.)
If there are any files you want to try to salvage from the drive see this post for more on recovering data from a hard drive that won't load Windows.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions
