So this computer had two accounts, mine and my dad's. Recently, I Immunized the computer using Spybot S&D. When I tried to log in to my account, a window popped up saying that my profile has been corrupted. When I finally managed to log in, MY ACCOUNT HAD BEEN RESET. Everything except files and programs used by both accounts had been deleted. My images, my applications, EVERYTHING had been erased.
Now, whenever I open up any folder it says:
"C:\Documents and Settings\TEMP\My Documents\foldername

Has anything like this happened to anyone else?

Run chkdsk and tell me what happens.
As soon as we wish to be happier, we are no longer happy.

It checked and corrected errors it found. Said something about orphaned files and damaged bitmaps at the rotten heart of Windows.

I can't imagine spybot would do such damage. I've used it for years without the slightest bit of trouble. :/

Agreed. Anything else acting weird with your PC lately?

You mean more than usual? No. Everything was fine until now.
Edit: Everything is back O_O My computer settings, my files, everything.
