so, any suggestions?

Hm. Well, this doesn’t help now, but always ALWAYS make back-up discs to your important documents.

I’m so sorry this happened. :(

Kaspersky is the best antivirus I’ve used to date and has received rave reviews…Norton and Symantec were rubbish in comparison…perhaps after this incident, consider switching antivirus software? Just an idea in any case :o)
