Well it finally happened. The terrible Trojan virus hit my computer monday. I thought I was protected with Microsoft Security Essentials. Not so,it let eight different Trojans to enter. I got them while surfing blogs on boondock camping. At first I couldn't even get my computer to respone to anything,but after rebooting several times it did come back up with most of my desktop icans missing. All of my documents are gone with all of the picture folders and all my favorites. If anyone out there knows of a freeware program that I could try please email me or leave it in the comment and let me know, Thank You.
I used a freeware called Recuva and it has brought back a few things,I will keep working with that until I find something else. Oh I did find the Trojan Viruses with Malwarebytes after I downloaded and used it. Needless to say all my time for the last few days have been working with the computer.
I hope you have a great day.

Joe,
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but your computer will most likely require a trip to a repair facility. That is what I had to do. I also recommend using Norton 360 or some other commercial antivirus software. I have been using norton 360 for at least 3 yrs and have not had to take my computer in to be "cleaned" since.
Hey Joe -
I've used the free version of AVG on two laptops and a desktop for about 4-5 years now, and no problems (touch wood). http://free.avg.com/ca-en/homepage
Good luck! BTW, I enjoy the blog, keep posting & all the best!
