Download files gets deleted[solved]
Download files gets deleted[solved]
Okay this is by far the weirdest problem I have come up with in a long long time (I only come up with weird problems. Maybe B_B should make me a different thread ).
So here is how it goes. I'm running this lappy right ? It's a Vaio VGN NR37G. And the suckers in India has a scam to push the Win Vistas that don't sell. They install it default with ur lappy. Full version. And format it, u blow ur warrenty. Anyway I am working with it. And I got this unlimited download broadband service. So I'm downloading big time.
All of a sudden. Just today it happened. THe files I download simply disappear. That's right. They Vanish ! I tried different browsers (Mozilla and IE) I tried different locations. Nothing.
Then I tried to download with Process Explorer running. Nothing. No weird process show up. Nothing what so ever. All I get are the part files.
I am clueless about what's going on. If it's a virus, this is the strangest one I have heard of. Right now I'm running a Kaspersky Online Scan. If any one can help then great.
P.S. Sorry about disappearing for a long time if anyone noticed. Bad health and some pending work.

You can try turning off the UAC by
Control Panel -> User Accounts and Family Safety -> User Accounts -> Turn User Account Control on or off.
After googling around this seemed to do the trick for most people.
Hope this helps

um, might sound silly, but have you checked if the files show up when enabling "show all files" in the folder options? no idea how it is called in english, could also be "show hidden files" or something like that.
I had a couple of downloads already that were labeled as "hidden files" after extracting them from a .zip or .rar archive...

well my folder option is supposed to show me all files hidden or not. and i will try th c-thug thing as soon as my scanning ends.
By the way thanks for the concern c-thug. I have this strange shoulder pain keeps poping up. On both shoulders. Am on pain medication. No idea where it came from. Maybe DNR knows.
Edit : Sorry c-thug didn't work. Turned of UAC still the same.

Problem Solved my friends . You wont belive it. I don't either. I had no virus attack. I had no driver problem. My OS didn't screw up. It something no one could have suspected. My AV.
That's right I had ESET NOD 32 v4 installed. But since Vista didn't let me use the crack it expired on 21rst. Now ESET had this strange setting. If the AV is expired then no downloads . After a successful uninstall everything is great. Can u belive it ??

More and more AVPs are trying to control what people can download and store on their HDDs. I should point out that even if the AVP was not expired - it would have stripped out .exes or tools that it deems harmful anyways. If it was stored in a quarantined or monitored folder that the AVP owns - it might get deleted when you uninstall the AVP too.
