My daughter has a 1 yr old Sony laptop with Vista Home Basic and it's on a
wireless secured network. She downloads pics from her camera and places them in the My Pictures folder. Last week she noticed that her pictures and pic folders were missing and in their place pictures she has no idea where they came from or who the pics are of. Other folders and files appear intact. After a complete search, including recycle bin, her pic files and folders were nowhere to be found. The firewall is always on, updates are automatic and programs AWG, Adaware and Spybot are updated regularly, run and no signs of problems. The only thing that may have been unusual was she temporarily switched her wireless access temporarily to an unsecured network (secured one was not working). Any idea what might have happened or how the pics could have been downloaded without her knowledge? Thanks for feedback. Rob |

You already have an answer in the Vista newsgroup to which you also posted. Please don't multipost; it makes more work for everyone and will get you *less* help, not more.
