    All pen drive data deleted after scanning it from MSE

    I was having some pictures in a pen drive. And some files which I backup regularly. I had connected the pen drive to my friends laptop. It was having MSE installed on the same. After connecting it there was a virus warning and I scanned the drive through mse. After that when I open the usb I am not able to find any files in that. I lost all my photos. It looks MSE has deleted all my files. How can I get that back. I want a bit help on the same.

    That is because your usb was infected. Many antivirus do this. If they found malware in the file they will delete the same. You cannot retrieve that back. It looks your pc is also having too much virus. There are some free tools on web that can help you to recover files, but there is no 100% guarantee that it is going to work. Once the files are deleted they are gone forever. It is good to create multiple copies.

    What you can do is modify MSE settings not to delete a file. It can quarantine that or it can block the file from spreading virus. For that you have to launch MSE and then click on Settings. From the left side you can see default actions. Click on that and you will settings on the right side. At the top side you can see severe alert level. Click on that and change the settings here. It is remove by default. That is why your files are removed.
