HELP......Please.....
I went to sleep last night. All was well with my pc. I get up today and find that EVERYTHING IS GONE. my music, my movies......ALL of my irreplacible family pictures......GONE! Cannot access my 2nd hard drive...non-existant. All of my folders are still there, just everything INSIDE of them is gone. Initiated a system restore, that brought back my desktop icons, but still, all of my files and vids and pics are gone. Firefox will not work at all...OK GREAT! Just this very second, I get an alert from Windows Live One-Care. My virus and spyware monitoring has been shut off as well as my firewall.....It will not let me turn it back on now AND it's saying I have a trial subscription that is about to expire.......POPPYCOCK! I own the program and have a 3-year subscription! What is Going on Here??!! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!

No lightning at all. I put it to sleep when I go to sleep. Any chance someone could have hacked my system? My antivirus/antispyware/firewall was shut off.....I keep it on and updated every day.

Ok but always asleep and not off, anything could have happened and with av and firewall off, certainly more than possible it was hacked or that a hard electrical restart could have caused that.
