Conversion from fat32 to ntfs.

[ELIZABETH BROWN]

I just converted my file system from fat 32 to ntfs but now I have lost a
few files and I can no longer access help and support, each time I click on
it nothing happens, there is also a few programs disappeared that I
downloaded like a poker site etc and when I go back to the site to
redownload again nothing happens when I click on the download link, can
anyone please tell me if I can get my files back and how? especially the
help and support tools which I always found very handy, and can someone
please explain why some download links will work while others dont, any help
on this would be greatly appreciated

I have converted more than a few hard drives from fat32 to ntfs and have
never had a single issue. The timing of your problems may just be a
coincidence. Have you scanned for Spyware/Malware/Trojans etc? Try
Googling "online virus scan" and see if you can run any of the
BitDefender, F-Secure or Kaspersky on-line scanners. Also, try these:

AdAware SE Personal: http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html

Spybot S&D:

Good Luck
