I ran a system check and Kazaa came up as a recommended
program to be deleted as they are investigation. I went
with it but the program deleted over 400 songs that were
in my shared folder as well. I guess I didn't look ahead
of time to see what it was all going to delete and got
shafted because of it. Anyway I ran a system restore and
everything got put back except for the .MP3 files. Is
there a shredder built into Beta that my files are
completely lost forever or can I retrieve them somehow??
 
When choosing delete Kaza and everything in the Kaza
folder are securely deleted. System Restore will restore
programs and their associated files but not files such
as .mp3.

I would guess that 90% of the people here are *not* using any kind of backup
program. :)

No. No back up program. That is until now. I've had a

computer for 5 years and never had a problem with anything
until now. I was actually in the process of burning
everything to disc but procrastinated just long enough to
lose it. Live and learn I guess.

You have checked--tools, spyware scan, manage spyware quarantine, right?

Quarantine is the default choice for Kazaa, and should be reversable.

Additionally, if, for some reason, you did interrupt the quarantine action
so that nothing shows as available to reverse the quarantine action--you
should look at the quarantine folder under \program files\microsoft
antispyware.

If MP3 files are quarantined, they are renamed. However, the files still
exist, and if renamed .MP3 they will play. Additionally, the MP3 format, as
I understand it, includes a title within the file itself--so it should be
possible to extract this title information from the files and rename them in
some way, using utility programs and batch files.

If the files were not quarantined, in theory a data recovery program such as
those designed to recover from accidental deletions or formats should be
helpful. In practice, I've not seen successes reported here.
