Hi everyone; very basic question to many but for me, I probably went somewhere I shouldn't have gone. I more than likely downloaded sometype of malware/virus type file because I kept getting prompted with "damaged hard drive clusters". I went
to the Microsoft Live OneCare site and had some type of freebee scan done and it gave me info that I had numerous files infected. I "allowed" it to clean it up; the program ran damn near all night. I check my PC (Windows Vista) and it appeared
that all was well. No error messages at all. After some research I see that my files are pretty much wiped clean. Personal documents, pictures, etc...
I already acknowledge that I went about this the wrong way and I'm none too bright for doing so. Looking past that if you can; is there any hope these files are somewhere I can retrieve them? I really don't have more info than that because obviously
I'm not too techy.
Any assistance in a non-badgering way would be greatly appreciated.
