Something has deleted me all my program files folder. This is quite bad. I can still browse because apparently firebird is still loaded on the memory. I am fucking scared there is a virus eating everything. |

What I am smelling is a frikkin windows bug. Why? Well, happens to be taht when i opened Painter 8 (27 days left on trial version), a prompt saying "winodws is configuring painter 8" stuff happened (painter 8 opened correctly), and well, i tried to open winamp, then windows couldnt just find it. I checked and there Program files just had painter 8 folder (yeah, this means i wanst really specific on my first post, but think about it, i was pissing in my pants). |

Do a search on google for AVG Antivirus the free version is great! I put this on all of the windows machines that those other people I come in contact with use. It is much easier to spend the 5 minutes to install anti-virus software than to have to spend the 30+ minutes to clean an infected computer. |

I was certainly something like that the first day, to be honest. Really paranoid. Then I rebooted, found out that I am capable of opening webpages with explorer (I always thought that ie rendering engine was on the executable or on the ie folder at least :P), so I downloaded a few restoring programs just to find that none of them were actually useful on their free version. Lacking the money, I started to resintall everything I have been capable of . A few stuff I have been unable, such as Plus!, compaq's intenet keyboard's support, office (i lost mah cd :S), and a few other things here and there. Damn, right now I dont have mspaint, which sucks if you ask me. |

Something I found out -- if you accidentally install something to your program files directory, don't run its uninstaller. It might delete all the relevant files, then try to delete the directory they were in (thinking it would be something like "program files/application" instead of just "program files".) |
