    Hello, I had an odd event and am somewhat confuzzled.

    I'm decent with computers, every problem up until now I've been able to solve, but this has me completely braindead.

    I ran my nightly programs (CCleaner, Nod32, Malwarebytes, and Windows Defender) and updated PeerGuardian as normal.

    I came back to my computer a little while ago and noticed that 3 icons on my desktop were gone. Adobe Premiere, After Effects, and Photoshop. This made me curious, so I checked the start menu. The whole Creative Suite is gone from there.

    I proceed by checking program files, and the whole Adobe folder is gone. I check my local data folder as well knowing that some apps store files there, and no avail.

    Ccleaner picked up the normal registry files left over after an uninstallation, so something weird happened here.

    Yes, the copy of Creative Suite CS3 is legitimate. I am using a copy that my old graphics production teacher had allowed me to install after showing interest in his class. Other than being an academic edition, it is 100% normal.

    As of now, I am going to go into safe mode without networking and run the scans once more and see what I get. I will check back when the scanning is completed.

    EDIT: Forgot to add my specs;
    OS: Windows 7 RC 32bit
    RAM: 2g DDR2 running at 667mhz
    Video: Intel GMA965
    Processor: Intel Celeron 1.86ghz

    I feel like a gigantic jackass, disregard the earlier post. My system is fine.

    I somehow managed to move the Adobe folder within Program Files into the Audacity folder that was 1 space over.

    I feel like an ENORMOUS JACKASS NOW!
