Hello,

A few months ago, I got a trojan virus on my computer. It completely wiped it clean.. I lost everything. The biggest set back of this was a programme that came pre-installed on my computer. Photoshop Elements.

My computer was constantly backing things up automatically to the D Drive. Will Photoshop be on there and can I restore it?

I have found this:

Your help will be appreciated ALOT. I really need Photoshop for my schoolwork.

Also, by restoring off the D Drive, could It be possible to restore the trojan virus?

I will +REP whoever helps me get it back!

Thanks for reading this.

Well most likely the Trojan virus was from a file that you had downloaded. Now if you were to restore your D Drive, the file that was infected might still be on there. So if you were to restore your drive for "Photoshop Elements" it might come back. The Trojan virus could have been Photoshop it self if you had downloaded it from a torrent site. If you did not then i would think it would be safe to restore Photoshop to get it back.

He said he got photoshop elements with his computer.

If you restore photoshop then it should be fine just dont do a full restore and back up everything before you restore photoshop

I'm 100% sure the trojan wasn't Photoshop. It came with my PC when I bought it new from the store. I tried to restore it but I got an error message:
