My dad is not very good with computers; he has a couple of friends whom he emails, and they email him back. They send each other emails which are Fwd: Fwd: Fwd: resent like hundred times, and I think it’s exactly through those emails that our PC got infected. Now all my homework is gone, all my school projects and stuff.. How can I get them back? I need help ASAP!
