Don’t know where to post this so I’ll do it here.
I just purchased avast and installed several of the applications (ie security, vpn, anti track and cleanup) and since then my entire downloads file was deleted. I ran disk drill to retrieve them but cannot find any files dated prior to today. The folder still exists, just not any content. I think everything else was spared. The files are not that important, but I don’t want to lose anything else.
Any thoughts about which application did this (if avast is responsible ) so I can prevent it happening again? It might be a coincidence but I’ve never had any files disappear before, much less an entire folder, and it coincides with this software being installed.
Thanks
