Last week I got a virus called Ramnit and my computer died. Not sure how I got it. My protection program AVG said it was Quarantined but it came back 6 times before it took everything off my hard drive. My Son will try to retrieve what he can when he comes around. Thankfully I do back up but not the last month. So now I will back up each week not monthly. I will also stop my GD's from going to you tube to watch cartoons...they love moshie monsters and silly me thought it was ok for them now I think I have paid the price.
Anyone else had trouble with this. I had never heard of it until then...hugs Kezza
There have been a lot of warnings about this virus, especially associated with facebook.
I do hope your son can restore your pc.
