Non-Existing Firefox, Imageshack Idiocy, and RCT3 Videos Go Bye-Bye

[Wacky Worm]

So, I feel confused. First, this popped up from my firewall.

I don't have Firefox. Yet it is there.

And then I filmed a Corkscrew POV. I figured I could upload it to imageshack, but when I double-clicked My Videos in the browse window, some error popped up that said the folder couldn't be found on the hard drive. When I checked My Documents, My Videos was gone. Not there. Not in my recycle bin, not anywhere.

So, is there any way i can get my videos back? The Firefox thing isn't really important, I just wanted to mention that:heart:. I feel like an idiot:icon13::paperbag:.

Sounds like a virus... Otherwise, did you mess something up?

Try disabling the firewall and visiting said sites. You want to isolate the problem first.

I had something like this before, but it was a Norton 360 virus thingy that blocked some of my websites.
It just eventually went away, so I'd think this would do the same?

I don't think I did anything wrong.

I'll try that. Although, the only time anything from the firewall pops up is the Firefox thing posted above.

Did you lose files, more specifically RCT3 videos?

Would a system restore work to get the videos back?

do you have AVG antivirus? if u do scan ur comp if its a virus.

^I have Verizon Internet Security Suite, and it ran a virus scan last night and didn't find anything, before this all happened (except 4 the Firefox thing, that's been going on for a while now). It's had this bug about a virus that it won't delete even when you restart the computer, I'll capture it as soon as I remember to.

try 2 DL the free version of AVG. Its A LOT better

Download Malware Bytes. Some times it finds things Verizon, Trend Micro, Norton, and AVG can't. You should download the free version of AVG aswell, here.

AVG (http://free.avg.com/)
Malwarebytes (http://www.malwarebytes.org/)

If that still doesn't work then all I can say is that your virus protection is messing with you. I've had the same thing with trend micro, they blocked the steam community page... I fixed with changing a couple of settings. Maybe you can do so with Verizon. But if you can't then I think you should download a free copy of AVG, download Malwarebytes, and buy Trend Micro. It's always good to have more then one virus scanner tbh. You're better off then ChevelleRocker, he was wandering the internet with no virus protection at all. Smart guy you are!

^ & ^^ Thanks for the links, I'll keep them in mind. I just remembered: Before my aunt gave me this computer, it had some trouble with the hard drive. It was fixed without replacing the hard drive, but could it be coming back? I'm not sure what was wrong.

[Smurfkiller]

What exactly was wrong with the harddrive? If you know.
