Hi all,

I downloaded a game called "Ants" from www.gamehippo.com.
I ran the game for the first time, and it was OK, then I tried to run it again, but all I had was a blank screen.
When I tried to press ESC, the PC restarted and I found out that all programs were gone from ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMME from the CONTROL PANEL.

One more thing, there's this program PHONE FREE. We downloaded it and it simply added itself to the hard disk. And each time we open the PC, it gives a message that one of its setup files is missing. Does this have anyhting to do with the disappearance of the programmes from the control panel?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Nadia

Not that it is the cause,but what would you expect from something called "phone free"?

I would uninstall it,restore your registry,run AdAware and/or Spybot,do a virus scan w/updated definitions,and go from there...IMHO
