I have a small hard disk unit that I purchased few years ago in Panthip Plaza Bangkok

with the name “ Blueghost Travelstar “and I have used this just for backing up data and

storing large files like photographs. I haven't used it very much at all during this period.

Today for the first time when I plugged it in all of theolder folders now appear only as shortcuts

and when I click them I get a message saying

“Windows cannot find ‘ H:\ RECYCLER\470a1245.exe.’ Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again “.

The strange thing is i notice older e-mail and documents that were not within folders are all ok and appear

in normal format and I can open them ok.

Plus folders that I have created fairly recently within the last few months are also all ok and I can open them without any problem?

So does this mean I will never be able to enter the folders that have somehow mysteriously overnight now only

appear as “shortcuts”even though I haven't done anything for this to happen?

It's a virus - try this solution.

thanks very much!

I think there should be a penalty in cyber law for creating viruses equivalent to grievous bodily harm!
