When I booted my laptop this afternoon a cmd window popped up and I could barely see a bunch of stuff getting deleted; It took about 10 seconds. When all was said and done, I saw that all files (but not folders) were gone from my desktop. So I started poking around in my documents and settings folder and found that ALL FILES had been deleted from my user profile; the directory structure was left intact.
I was able to use Undelete PLUS to successfully backup alot of my important stuff, files on desktop, firefox bookmarks, thunderbird email, etc. So I don't think I've permanently loss lost anything terribly important, but still what a pain in the a$$.
Does anybody maybe know what I got hit by? Is it still possibly residing on my HDD? I'm thinking I should format and reinstall but just looking for some input or tips before I do.
thanks in advance,
