in the downloads folder, i had several programs like irfanview and public dns changer recently installed, now have been mysteriously deleted from pc. even the shortcuts on desktop points to nowhere. i always turn off the pc before retiring to bed, logged in few minutes ago and gone...now i have to reinstall them. what kind of bad entity could be the culprit? i ran malware hunter, no anomalies. something happened. not only those 2 but some browser zip files are now gone. its practically empty in download folder. -i need to make copies of any saved programs i install in case it happens next time
