Some of you probably know about the AIM virus thats going around, when you have it, you automatically message everyone on your buddylist with something along the lines of "Hey I have this PICTURE of us, can I put it on my facebook?" And there's a link- of course, since it was from my friend (technically...) I DOWNLOADED the file, and ended up with the virus. Alot of things ended up getting DELETED, like all the game files (like Solitaire) and other tools, like the calculator, and most importantly, MS Paint. It's completely gone from my computer although I once had it. My question is, is there anywhere I can go to get MS Paint back on my computer without paying?  :-/Let's see whether it may still actually be in your computer and just needs to be re-enabled, if you haven't already done this.  Go to Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, and CLICK on Add/Remove Windows Components.  Select Accesories and UTILITIES.  Click on the Details button.  Select Accesories.  Click on the Details button.  Do you see Paint?  Is the box for it checked?  If not, put a check mark in it, click OK, and exit.  Is Paint now available?You rock! I feel pretty dumb lol it's still there along with all the other files that got "erased"

Thanks a TON!Make sure your virus protection is up to date, and don't accept "random" and spontanous links or files from your friends, unless they say they want to send it
