Laptop crash...maybe...

Okay, I was working on my laptop last night when my antivirus caught some malware and stopped it. Well, it allowed me to keep working so I didn't stop what I was doing and check my computer. This morning I was working on it again and tried to look up the local library on my Favorites. My Favorites were gone. All of them. So I started looking. The only things it would allow me to access were the things I already had open. So I get the bright idea to close down the computer and restart to see if that cleared it up. Uh, no. Now I can't access anything. When I pull up the "all programs" in the corner, it says I don't have any. Yeah. I'm hysterical. I've already been crying to the point of not being able to speak. I cannot begin to tell you everything I've lost if it really wiped it out. I'm currently on our main computer, but I don't know how much I can access from here. Not a happy camper. Not at all.
