HELP!!! Please!

I found a virus "ccollgatee" in my pc... i asked from this site and he/she helped me out a lot! i followed everything he/she posted and the virus was gone however, i must have clicked on something... apart from what she said... which may have triggered losing all the files... there are 6 of us using this pc, 6 folders too but only my files weren't deleted... is there any way that i could still recover those files?? they're really important! PLEASE HELP ME!!

6 users with 6 user accounts? or six users who were storing things in different folders?

its me, rv909, but i'm using another account... anyway, 6 users storing different things in different folders... for each user account, they have their documents and folders right? well, those were gone... only my documents and folders were in the documents and settings... the rest were gone... i'm sorry for being so vague about my first post... thanks!

If c:\documents and settings only has your folders. I would remove the harddrive and place it in another machine, then run a file recovery utility on the drive

Here is a freebie

The reason I suggest removing the drive is to prevent any further file writes to it....the more you use the drive the less likely you will be able to recover things from it
