Hi all,
Just wanted to tell you about my virus, at least I think its a virus, or a "hook" as my tek friend called it. A few weeks ago my Windows Mail folders disappeared (3 folders only but important ones). Two folders that I store important emails to reply back to and another was my folder that I keep just for VAF posts. They are not replaced yet, I know they are saved but I can't access them, still working on that. So I back up with Carbonite and Click Free external hard drive. I tried to restore them with Click Free. About 5 hours later, I got an influx of thousand of old emails and spam! I started deleting the old emails but everytime I log on this email accounts starts to propagate. So my clean email account now has the same thousands of emails. I am up to 3000 now in addition to my junk mail account, etc.
System Restore didn't work even in Safe Mode. I haven't done anything for the last 2 days but work on fixing this. I now decide its not fixable (Windows Mail) so I have to close out that account with tons of folders and export it to new accounts that I have to create. Also my firefox browser is not visable so I can't uninstall it and then reinstall it and my IE browser lost all its add-ons. I don't like Chrome too much since it doesn't have linking capacity.

So it made me think that "what would I have done if I had clients"?
For the first time I am glad I don't have any. So I now have to buy another PC really really quick. I just wanted to pass this one to you in case you have any of these horrible things happening to you. I don't know if this is the Confikr virus or something else. But I did protect my email account from sending out spam to my contacts. I did this last week before this happened. If anyone wants to know how to do this please send me a PM and I will respond.
Thanks for listening, I really really needed to vent
