Oh dear I am so sorry for you both. we lost most of ours,we only have 5 black and white ones. Rain got into cameras.

Hopefully if you take computer in to IT people they can retrieve off the hard drive.
Best of luck and love to you both.

Malc had to do a total destruct which basically means the laptop goes back to how it was when it was brand new. Everything was lost.

As Sue says, don't give up hope, there may be some way of retrieving your photos.

Have just looked on the greetingcard site. Their advice is not to open any email saying that it's from them unless it either has your name on it, or you recognise the sender.

Sorry to hear about your photos.

I keep getting emails from Greetingcard.org. They're dodgy too. If you google their website it gives you more information.

Have you spoken with a data retrieval company? It's always worth asking..

A couple on Facebook but we had about 170 on the laptop - some where on a disc that my daughter had but it has been copied over by mistake!!

The company who sent the e-mail are called Greeting Cards UK and it claims they are sending an e-card, so if anyone gets one of these - dont open it.

We had our wedding photos on Malcs laptop ready to get printed and someone sent him an e-mail which had a virus. He has had to do a total destruct on his laptop and we have lost all our pictures. We couldn't do a back up first as it would have also copied the virus.

Why do people put viruses onto the system? We are gutted.
