Hello, i come to you in a time of need.
Here goes...
Yesterday i came to my pc and turned it on, everything seemed normal. I went to open my documents folder and was horrified to find it empty, along with Music, Pictures and all the folders accoiated with the Mike (me) user. After some fiddling i found out that the documents folder was linking to a user called TEMP which i have never come across before. So, glad that my files were safe i started the arduous task of linking all the folders to the Mike user and got back my files. After many hours of fiddling and scanning with various virus scanners etc i took it as beaten and went to bed.
Waking up the morning i am very annoyed. I turn on my pc to find a default wallpaper on my monitors, default start menu icons, and yet again my documents folders etc seemingly empty. After finding out the the documents origins they are now linking to C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile which is just ridiculous,
I really need help to get rid of this annoying virus that keeps re-linking all my folders and wiping any user settings in programs such as Google Chrome. Also once i get rid of this virus is there a quick and easy way of linking my documents back correctly rather than doing it all manually.
Thankyou for your time and hope to hear from you soon
