Hi, today morning, I connected my camera to the laptop and went onto the gallery to transfer photos. Upon completion, I found all the images came up as question mark symbol indicating that images were no longer there. With a hope, I downloaded and run anti-virus program to drive but it removed virus with no success in photo recovery. How can I get these pictures back after virus attack? Please help me!
Well, virus attack is just like a nightmare for all computer users that can be easily encountered if sufficient protection is not applied to the devices. Once viruses get entered in your device, they would trouble you by hiding photos and other data. In addition, they can have tendency to erase pictures from your computer, digital camera or any other storage device. Although, viruses can take you away from your favorite pictures but not forever if right action is taken at the right time. Yes, photos that are no more accessible on your system, are still recoverable. Because there are chances for you to get back all photos visible and in healthy state and it’s all is possible with the aid of a reliable picture recovery app that should have ability to restore hidden or erased photos after the virus attack.
