Ah yes the Ahmish(sp) virus - where you're on your honor to delete files your hard drive needs for one reason or another because the ahmish(sp) actually don't have the technology to write viruses, them lacking computers and all they must convince you to delete the files yourself. Usually AVG website is pretty good about anouncing new viruses. Also check Norton, McAfee and MicroSoft Update. Adaware doesn't actually check for viruses but is good for detecting spyware. It is a good thing. If you're on XP you could try running system restore, I don't know that it will help with the deleted files but you might be able to recover them from the wastebasket. - TJ
