I deleted a suspicius folder by mistake and I will like
to recover it. Does anybody know how can I do it
 
If you deleted it, it IS gone!

You might be able to use System Restore to bring it back,
but it doesn't work for all folders and file types.

In the future, DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING until you have done
some research to determine if the threat is genuine.
Instead, quarantine the item until you can determine if
it's a threat or not.

I thought antispyware utilities is suppose to do the
research and determine which one is a threat. busy people
this day just don't have the time to do a research, this
is why they rely on antispyware/antivirus utilities to do
the job instead. you can't quarantine everything that
MSAS detects, some must be deleted.
 
Simply use google to see if something is a threat. It
will take at most five minutes to see if it's a threat.

Don't rely on what a program tells you, because some
times they are wrong. Even AV apps are not infallible.
Some report false positives. If you rely on what they
tell you all the time then you might end up removing a
critical system file and not even know it until your
system crashes. At that point, it might be too late!

As always, it's better to be safe than sorry. This is
especially true when talking about your computer and the
data on it. You might end up spending several hundred
dollars to have a data recovery company restore your hard
drive if you end up crashing the system (the OS).

This is not true, if you have not emptied your recycling
bin you can restore it from there.

You can also download a file system recovery utility and
restore it with that.

do a google search for recover deleted files.
 
Not to mention the possiblity of losing one's job if you
end up losing critical data for your employer.

NO YOU CAN NOT!!!

Have you actually used this product to remove ANYTHING?
When it deletes an infection, it securely deletes it!

Some people have tried the data recovery method, but with
LIMITED success. When you delete the infection MSAS DOES
NOT put it into the Recycle Bin, it deletes it from the
system entirely, completely bypassing the Recycle Bin.

Other products are no different. I've used Ad-Aware to
remove cookie files and their is absolutely NOTHING in my
Recycle Bin after removal.

Any developer of antispyware apps that simply moved
things from the system to the Recycle Bin needs to be
taken out and SHOT!!! It it totally asinine to rely on a
totally unreliable deletion tool such as Windows' Recycle
Bin to remove an infection. When you empty your Recycle
Bin, all Windows does is mark the spot on the hard drive
as "empty." When in fact all that has happened is the
system can now write over that spot with data. Problem
with this is it might be years before that spot is
writtem over, leaving that data accessible by anyone who
has the skills to recove that data. If removal tools
actually used this feature, a virus/spyware/Trojan/etc.
writer could use a simple data recovery software tool to
recover what was just removed and reinstall it on your
system. This would totally defeat the purpose of running
an antispyware or AV app.

I recommend that you use DataRecoveryWizard to recover your data.
The software provides very useful functions for data recovery:
DeleteRecovery, FormatRecovery, AdvancedRecovery, RawRecovery.

This program is an efficient disk recovery software providing
you a complete answer to data loss.

First thing I recommend you download the demo version of
DataRecoveryWizard. (http://www.easeus.com/download.htm)

Run the program and select the recovery mode "DeletedRecovery",
or "FormatRecovery", or "AdvancedRecovery".
