In deleting unwanted software the other day I accidentally deleted Symantec for my antivirus software and now cannot update.
I can't find the CD, is there anything I can do to restore it? :(
 
If you havent emptied your recycle bin, open it, find the files and hilight and click restore. Viola.
 
The only things i know to restore deleted things need to be installed before the deletion occurs, so pray its in your recycle bin :D
 
easy recovery pro may be able to help. But Time is of the essence.

there are also a host of other file recovery options, but ERP is the best IMHO.
 
I do know about the recycle bin, thank you!

It has been deleted from the recycle bin.

How do I do a system restore and what will happen when I do?
 
I dont think system restore will bring back that file....

As long as you didnt write over that sector (but if it was more then two days ago I would say you already did) you can bring it back with some software... I remember when my maxtor died I recoverd alot from it... Try out some of these programs:

I forgot which one I used, but I know it came from there...
 
It's been alot more than 2 days, I guess I just have to keep looking for the CD :(

Thanks though, I will keep this handy in the future.
