Okay.. So this is my second time writing this.. Damn page error wouldnt get my post posted, so it's not as good as my first. But I guess it doesnt matter since the first one was never posted....Grrr...

So I was typing up a paper and surfin the web. I hear this wierd beep sound coming from my laptop. I minimize all the programs to look for an error message, I find none. I open up my anti-spy and virus to see if there were any notifications, only the program wouldnt boot up. Very strange, so I decided to restart my lap top. In the middle of it logging out, I get the message: "Program(or application) 858 is not responding." I closed it down and my laptop restarted. I log back on and noticed that most of my shortcuts, folders, and a text document had disapeared from my desktop. I used the Search thingy to find the word document, my computer never found it. It has disapeared off the face of the Earth!

What the firetruck is going on?

Have you tested for viruses, trojans and spyware since?

Watch you haven't got a trojan on there that enables someone from a remote computer to control your machine.

Just scanned it, no viruses or trojans or anything.

Do a system Restore and see if it solves the problem..
