Oh dear Kim. One of two things happened, either you got a virus which spoofed the Microsoft Update process, OR the Microsoft Update process went wrong. Whichever it was, it's no comfort to you I'm sure. I'm an IT professional, and yet I had exactly the same thing happen to me a while ago, I managed to corrupt my PC when installing a printer driver (!) and lost everything, work AND private documents for approximately 5 years of my life. Didn't have any backups, which was incredibly stupid on my part, given what I do for a living. Can only agree with what you say; take regular backups, especially of your vital Geneology data !!! |
