The comp guy was able to save my pic,s for. Cost me 50.00 more bucks but was worth it. Can yoursdo this for you?
I back up all picks and quilty stuff on a portable hard drive that i bought from newegg.com for$79 on sale. Worth it's weight in gold!

Occasionally my firewall (Avast!) pops up to tell me it has successfully prevented something from attacking my computer while I'm using it, including a time or three when I've been on this site.
