I guess from your reply that there isnt what you might call a paid links penalty - save for a few manually adjusted sites that may well have been subject to some selective whistleblowing.

Not sure my site was manually adjusted because usually when you fall victim to such a review you are wiped immediately along with a zero PR or grey bar. Mine was more a slow death over 3 weeks.

Either way there is no looking back - youve got to fix what you think was wrong and then move forward. If nothing else you learn a valuable lesson.
