Thanks for your reply, I'm not yet over this, but trying to get back to this as my temper was fuming.

I've tried out the app. from that site but when using the recover button it says do you want to recover to a different drive, i'm only aware of one drive (C So im stumped there

I dont know what happened, but i do know it happened during the uninstall of AutoGK, as i've said earlier ' tried to click on the shortcut icon on the desktop & it said it was corrupt...'

All i done was clicked on both the .exe & the update in Program Files, but when uninstalling it, it just seemed to check everything in Program Files every program has been deleted after further noticing Nero, HP, DREAMWEAVER, PHOTOSHOP, DVD FAB etc, including AVG??
I had to reinstall that, so when i did it done a full scan for me & found nothing!
it just stalled a few times & then i proceeded to install it over the previous one it worked, but as you know the rest, i'd really like to know what happened here
