Thanks for the heads up. I have since uninstalled spyware terminator and installed
AVG anti spyware.
I have also in the meantime started re-installing, or where available, repair install
my software in order to retrieve the "lost" folders under All Programs. However,
the following is still of a great concern to me as my original folders have been
hidden (especially on my removable drives) and are now only visible after the "show
hidden files" are checked and the "hide protected operating system files" are unchecked.
The folders then appear to be hidden, but I cannot uncheck the hidden checkbox under
the properties as the function is disabled.
I would like to show a preview of the problem, but I can't paste it in this message.
