With respect to your reply #13770:
I respect your experience as far as it goes.  I believe you have the truth by what you know.  However, as a former electronic/computer technician with professional experience in electronic R&D, my experience is simply different.

I did nothing different to the data that would cause it to disappear.  That's not all:  I had only one file that wasn't an aerospace reference .PDF   It concerned a statement of fact in .DOC to present to the V.A. in order to upgrade my non-service connected pension.  It was still on the disk.  Someone selectively deleted all my backed up aircraft specification files.  Only that one was left.

Please keep in mind:  Cap-Z-ro has a point that there's a conspiracy do keep certain information from the public.  I've become acquainted with the proof.  Cap-Z-ro is correct in his assertion when it comes to that.  But, that's all I'll say.

Print off a hardcopy of whatever drawings and electronic test results you think are important.  Your computer isn't software safe,  regardless!  of how good your antiviral software is.

I have been using and building computers since the days of the old Intel 8086 chip.  I have never heard of any instance of anyone or any entity removing info from a hard drive to block energy device advances.  Not one.  Not ever.  With my intelligence experience, my engineering background and in my many years in the PI business this has never happened in one documented case that I have ever been made aware of.

Now, many folks like Mylow, etc, "claim" the MIB was suppressing his "working" device.  We all know how that one turned out.  I believe all of the other cases to be the same.

If, in your case, software was on your drive that selectively removed some data, that software would still be on there.  Granted, it make take some hard drive forensics software to locate it but, it would still be fairly easy to detect.  Did you try doing this?  The best anti-virus approach is hardware and not software.

it sure is funny how the 'mib' are always suppressing, watching, hacking, etc. those who have nothing isn't it.

i haven't run an anti-virus or firewall program (because 'enumerating the badness' is pointless. pointless is dumb.) for over 10 years and have never once had the least bit of problems. the only data i ever lost was due to mechanical failure of the drive, and that was only a couple files, the rest of the data was easily recovered from the platters...

and it was i who hacked big_m's computer and deleted his aircraft specs, not the mib...

i never said it was men in black i just said that all the stuff i had been looking at and logging had been deleted
yes i guess it could of been me moveing stuff to another drive insted of copying but it was also strange that my antivirus wasent working and nore my mouse

There is a problem with ubuntu and that is that it does not allow to run any windows programs on it.
I mean if you have a program that you usually work with in windows, when you try to use it inside ubuntu it is even not recognized as a program anymore.
