I just returned from 5 weeks of backpacking through Central America and accidentally delete all my photos from my external hard drive upon plugging it into my laptop. Once I plugged it in Spybot informed me of two virus's on my computer labeled RECYCLER\0xFFD12566.exe so I approved to remove them. Once I removed the virus I realized it had deleted all my photos in my two folders.

I clicked the recovery button and the files are not located in there. I'm sure there must be a way to retrieve my photos somewhere? Can someone please explain to me how to retrieve the files that have been deleted with Spybot? I'm super bummed right now, and any help would be really appreciated!
