I had such a nasty virus from Drudge I had to restart my computer from day one. It would not allow me to restart it from previous days, weeks or even months.
I saved my pics on an external hard drive quite some time ago, so I lost everything but those.
I am not computer literate, so that was the only way I could remedy the situation.
I stopped going to Drudge over ten years ago, due to the cooties.
