How is it that executables just vanish?

I've had operational programs the system suddenly can't find. Thinking
maybe the paths got messed up (registry?) I run Agent Ransack and they
are
completely missing from the whole hard drive.

This has happened half a dozen times in the last year.

I run AVG 8 Full at least once a day (Updated more than once a day) and
never find any viruses. (I also use anti-spyware) Just last might I did
a full system scan (as opposed to a faster smart scan) and found no
viruses.

But the *input* can be direct (he selected a file and pressed "Delete") or
indirect (some other program he's installed (or got infected with) is
somehow doing it). Let's go for the latter, eh? Any ideas that will actually
help?
