I have seen several times where those files get replaced by either bad
software (adware, malware, & spyware) or a virus. Thus once again I
recommend you do something to prevent it from happening again.
To prevent this from happening again I recommend installing both
Ad-aware and Spybot Search & Destroy (make sure you update them at least
once a month). As the Internet connection was most likely broken by one
or more of the following spyware, adware, mal-ware, or a virus. I also
recommend doing an online virus scan at
http://housecall.antivirus.com
to check for any viruses, since your anti-virus software is the first
thing that is attacked by most modern viruses.
I have done some research on this issue occurring & if you only have
Microsoft software this issue will never occur unless you get a virus or
install poorly written programs.
