    System restore deleted a file.

    I downloaded a anti virus setup file in my documents on Wednesday
    (norton.exe). On Thursday I used system restore to Tuesday. I noticed that
    norton.exe disappeared. I used system restore to come to Thursday, but
    norton.exe never came back. I am using vista business. Can someone help me
    solve this mystery.

    Hi Harpreet,

    Norton.exe is usually the Ahker worm, you wouldn't want it back. More here:
