is it possible to recover files that a virus deleted?
hi i think that i virus deleted all of my files like photos, word documents etc from my laptop, i though that somehow the disk was reformatted but the weird thing is that all the programs that i downland like ares, msn messenger, etc still there. is there any way that i could recover my photos? its like the most important thing there..

No, they are deleted for good.
well no but fact is most of the files it deleted were infected in the first place so you would not want to either way.
If they are the most important thing in your life, unplug your computer now. Don’t shut down. Unplug. Yup, you’ve read enough of my message, unplug it now. Then never turn on your computer again. Find a HIGHLY qualified technician who is ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED he can recover ALL DATA on the disk, even deleted items. There are such people. It should cost you several hundred dollars minimally to TRY to get anything back, but they probably are not all retrievable. Note I said ALL.
The longer you leave your computer on, start it up, shut it down, the less likely it is you’ll ever retrieve them. Unplug now!
NO
Even when pictures are permanently deleted (more so off windows) all the program does it puts a little symbol in front of it which marks it as permanently deleted - when in fact for a short time it is still there, just hidden unless you have the right program to find it
It is still possible your pictures are on your computer (i cant promise anything). You could try getting some recovery software if you are desperate for these pictures back. (I’m not sure of any freebies but MultiStage Recovery works for me.)
Good Luck!
BTW, back them up next time! (To a CD/DVD or different computer)
