I have a really big problem with my computer! Please help!?

Question

My computer has been infected with a virus that acts like a virus protector. I have all my pictures for the past 5 years on my computer and never backed them up! Today, I tried to "move" the pictures to a CD. But when I went to see what was waiting to be added to the CD-there was nothing! Then I went back into my pictures-and all the files are there but they are all empty! I'm freaking out! I can't find the pictures anywhere on my computer! What happened? Can anyone help me?

Answer 1

You cant just move ur pictures onto ur cd, u need to burn them..

Secondly, the files were empty or the folders???

Try to look ur pictures in "Files Waiting to be written onto cd" if u get a balloon onto ur quick launch bar..

Answer 2

Answer 3

Basically what you are doing is staging the pictures to be burnt. They will all appear empty and of zero to little file size.  On the left of the window it will most likely say burn to cd.  You will not be able to do anything with the pictures in that window until they are actually burnt as at that time they are just meta tags pointing to the actual pictures.
