Hi i had friend tell me to quit sharing files because her boyfriend told her about people being able to hack onto your computer or whatever. Well i HAD like almost 500 songs and i had them all in folder such as rap, rock, dance etc. well clicked on each folder and put them under no share and i lost them all. i can not find any of the songs. and now even when i download new music it disappears. where is all my music going. Please help!!!!

Music In The Land OF The Lost
 

Please provide the following information: Your OS and do you use iTunes as your media player? If so I have the solution. Did you try a search for your folders and/or songs on your hard drive? I bet I can help if you give a little more detail. I seriously doubt anyone "hacked" your system and got rid of just your music. Believe me--people that malicious wouldn't bother with just your music. Many of us can help but you need to provide more info. PM me if you want.
Best Of Luck

i use windows media player to listen to music, burn music or whatever. I dont know what os is. I know noone has hacked my computer i was just stating that is why i did that because he told me that. thanks for your help.

If you use windoze and your computer is unpatched and unfirewalled it is hackable. If you were hacked it was probably just a script kiddie (a term real hackers use to describe someone who uses tools and programs written by others to hack) who didn't cover up his tracks. If all you have is songs I don't see any reason to even try to hack you. But, since you said that all the songs you download are going somewhere else I think that they are still there. Go to Start>Search (window$) and type in the name of a song or the file they were in. Let me know what you come up with. If you are wondering how you were possibly hacked click the "HOW SAFE ARE YOU?" link in my signature. Good luck.
