I have not seen any advantage to a paid antispyware/paid antivirus for the regular home user.

Reinstallation was my bad bad and last option. But i did it, i must
go on with my work, i in the middle of something important, so i
thought it could be quicker then downloading twenty times x 0 of
superb spyware which of course i tried, tools, yeah right.

You mean antispyware?

Likely your problem could have been resolved with a good antivirus and malwarebytes and superantispyware scans. Sometimes you may have to run them in safe mode and on occassion, one might utilize HijackThis!

The thingy is, i didn't wanted to erase my desktop, because i have
very important data collected on it, like e.g. messages from this
group for solving issues much more to me important files. Formely
i would save a backup of desktop and web-explerers(Opera, firefox
and WInExpl. favorites)but now i didn't do that also.

No spell checker/grammar checker? *grin*

Anyway - you should have a consistent and scheduled backup setup in the future.

I lost my favorites links etc. Is there a chance, a possibility to
restore those files from desktop, and favorites from all of three
web-applications to newer ones or just to save them and manually
write again into?

I am confused. If you have no backup (you said 'i didn't do that') - what are you restoring from?

If is, what it is ?

Is there something more i didnt take care of ? ughhh

Many thanks. Every A...is being considering !!!

I read that post a few times. From what I can tell - you have done some sort of install - possibly a clean installation of your operating system (I assume Windows XP) and you have no backups of your data.

Can you explain exactly what you did?

Reinstallation of XP on the previously installed XP. Disk partitions have stayed in the same postion with same DATA on it, but Desktop vanished....so as favorites, vanished...what else ?
