  1. Yes, of course I checked the Recycle Bin. There was nothing important in there. Chrome warns me against using the link you sent, saying that it is malicious. I don't want to risk further damage so I am still without a solution.
  2. It's not good news. I paid to buy the full version of EaseUS but it didn't bring back the missing files, only duplicates of ones which weren't missing. Unfortunately I may be using their 30 day money-back guarantee. I still have emptied folders all over the place at random. See photo. I will contact EaseUS support and see if they can help. Meanwhile, I've removed every trace of ASC from my computer. I'm very scared of it now. Moral of the story: Backup before letting anyone "help" with your computer.
  3. Thanks Daskalos. The supercial scan didn't bring up anything of note, but the Deep Scan which is going to take 2 hours is showing the file folder names which were affected and showing 134,028 files. That's going to go well beyond the free limit, so I guess that they will ask me to pay soon. Worth it if it works. But whatever caused ASC to do such a dastardly deed and selectively delete so many valuable files?
  4. My C drive kept getting full, so a friend ran Advanced SystemCare v9 trial version from the internet, asking it to clean and to remove duplicates. Immediately afterwards I discovered that many folders of photos and videos have been totally emptied. The same friend ran Pandora Recovery and it only recovered a small handful of files, not the thousands that have gone missing. I have backup for most of them except one file that I had intensively worked on over the last 2 weeks. Completely empty. The folder is still there but empty. The folders next to this one in the menu seem to be fine (if they have lost some content I cannot know, but they are not emptied). The missing JPEGs and videos are all from D drive. There's a photo with a sample of what is missing in one area. I had AVG antivirus which claimed my computer was clean. After all the files went missing I uninstalled that and loaded the latest BitDefender Total Security and that too says my computer is clean. I've just found a whole lot more photo folders totally emptied and they all say that were last modified at the time and on the date that ASC was running. A lot had not been touched recently so it is not just recent folders that have been emptied. The "last modified" times are each a minute or two apart during the time that ASC was running. I feel sick! My friend keeps trying to blame a virus, but I say that the fact that all the emptied folders were last modified during the hours that ASC was running is more than suspicious. I can get the photos back from backup or the camera memory cards but all the editing and naming will be gone. Please HELP!!
