motorola or mobile phone tools

I use you're site and others for programs. Somehow this Trojan or virus, got
past 2 virus programs, and several other protective programs including a
router with it's own security, and a fire wall, along with adware spy bot
etc, so check to see if you're protection is working, as I just noticed that
somehow my second machine somehow turned it's virus program off. I am very
diligent with this stuff on a nightly basis, I update all security programs,
and adware scan every night. If it got tru me, it can get to anyone. In 10
yrs I never had anything get past me, and my machines run 15 hours per day,
for 7 or 8 years now. This somehow corrupted the data on both drives in one
of my machines making chkdsk and fix boot, impossible, it also took a
section of the ntfs partition, and re wrote it, go figure

I've found that virus programs are like vampires. You have to invite
them in.

I consider "backup" making data available from another source.Like backing
up files to another hard drive, be it internal or external,to a CD/DVD
disk,ect.

Are you saying you do not backup any of your "machines" like that?

I run no such site, and I don't use unreliable sources for programs.

You probably installed it yourself inadvertently.

My protection is *always* working.

You're clearly overestimating yourself, as evidenced by the fact that you lost
everything. I don't get seriously infected, but even if I did, my backups
would fully protect me.

There's no way for backup to be "trashed" if you know what you're doing. My
own backups are on offline DVD-R discs that can't be "trashed" by *any* virus.

I'm sorry for your misfortune, but you really shouldn't be making excuses,
much less asking for handouts that might well be illegit, especially when
legit replacement is so inexpensive.

Should we also replace the $10 bill you say you lost last week?

Somewhat true, if you consider browing with Javascript enabled to
