before my problem, i had hidden files viewable.

when i went into this area on the behest of my AV, i was looking for something specific.

i had hundreds of emails stored, all that was visible in

C:\Documents and Settings\Your User Name\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{6EA4EFE3-FB78-41D9-B157-AC95B9108256}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

On another note, i use firefox, and at 6pm 01/12/07 gmt, i installed and scanned with kaspersky.

at this moment, all of my favourites from firefox dissappeared apart from the a folder which was named 'forums' that became the singular favourites list ie. no subdirectories of folders.

avg removed a trojan this morning, kaspersky found nothing this evening.

I have just posted a reply to Angel Rose on exactly the same subject and I suspect it might be a solution for you.
