Main DL folder dissapeared, undentified user connected to laptop.

Hmmm. Sounds like your profile may not be set as an admin. Navigate to the command line in "Accessories" from the start menu, right click, then run as Administrator. If it opens the command line try and run the Chkdsk again. It should let you. If the command line doesn't open then you probably arent set as an admin and you'll need to go make that change in the User settings in Control Panel. Thats IF it lets you make that change. I don't think a standard user can just make themselves an Admin user. That would defeat the purpose of the whole thing.
At the very least you should be able to look in the User setting in Control Panel and see what other user profiles are on the machine. You'll need to run that Chkdsk from a profile with admin permissions.
thank goodness i opened this thread, time to lay low

Not being the admin on your own computer

Yeah significant amount of space was freed up, I done searches and it's returned with nothing, I'm certain it's gone.
Thats extreme, the external is strictly for backup purposes if I were to move everything on there and 1 day it decides not to turn back on than I can only imagine
Since I got this issue I only ran AVG and it returned with nothing.
What programs should I run?
Microsoft security essentials
malbytes anti malware
hijack this
spy bot search n destory
like i said 200 gigs worth of stuff just disappearing is major.
there is absoultely nothing wrong with externals , regardless of what you read fail rates are low , i have had a 750 gig seagate for 4 years never had a hiccup , for black friday this year picked up a 1 gig toshiba and put about half of that 750 gig on there , just incase. i know there not 100% safe but neither are your own HD's , as your painfully learning now.
but something def. up with your system
SOHH after running a few of the programs Newark recommended Malbytes detected some spyware after getting rid of it, I put the laptop back in the office and purchased a new HP netbook.
As I mentioned I'm not heavy in the downloading, (moderate, Netflix takes care of that.)
I'm running into the same issue, I'm connected to an unknown network and it's interfering with my speeds, I've since disconnected from the network but damn I'm still getting 2KB's on Django.
I check back on iso to see how many seeds the file has and the comments users have left... I get this message:
"Torrent has been censored, as required by US court."
Now it's picked up but the above message tells me something isn't right here, I've since checked the same file and I'm not getting that prompt.

I've been framed by these fanatical filesharing fiends!
This dude got caught downloading and instead of paying low. I he went out and bought a new laptop and proceeded to download from the same source that caused the original problem.
