VISTA: Lost all entries in "My Mail" & "Print Artist"

Jul 2, 2010 12:46PM PDT

Although my husband has AVG Anti-virus, Firewalls, etc. someone "phished" his e-address and he began receiving unwanted mail from his own address.

In the last few months he realized that all entries to his "My Mail" program, including business & personal address were lost. He later realized that all our saved projects in "Print Artist Gold" were also missing.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how this could have happened? Especially how we could recover the missing data. We tried "System Restore", but that didn't work. Unfortunately these were not saved to a disk. But system has been backed-up each week regularly.

We have owned PCs since Win3.01 (or similar) and never experienced this type thing before.
