What kind of software doesn't ask for confirmation before it deletes files on a system?

Okay I really hope you haven't touched your harddrive and written anything on it since. If you haven't, get another boot drive and put the 200gb drive in slave. Then using a file recovery program, you can *hopefully* recover it. Of course I have no idea what this cleanup program did, if it was really thorough and overwrote all memory locations multiple times, wiping with zeros, then ones, etc (DoD-type method) then you're screwed. If it was just a simple delete, then you got some hope. Great file recovery tool that I used before was PC Inspecter file recovery

 

[batmang]

DOOOD.... ahahahahahahah!

 

[chuckywang]

So Cleanup didn't work for you? It deleted stuff you actually want?

 

[Platypus]

:thumbsup: C'mon buddy, if you're doing advanced spyware cleanup you should know about file recovery

1. backup. get a free solution like syncback

2. undelete! STAT! l

last night, i had a similar problem. when mozilla firefox reinstalled itself for the 6 or 7 times i've had to upgrade, it screwed up the settings for one of my extensions and i backed up the wrong directory :| a lot of REALLY important files were lost. i recovered some, but not all... and i can't get them to work with the extension anymore
