HI,
Thank you for the much appreciated information on the forum "Untrapping my btc". But I have encountered another
problem I sincerely hope that you can help. Just recently I took my computer in for service, because for a week it
wouldn't allow me to connect to the internet...So the serviceman ran various virus and maleware sweeps.
He told me that he found and removed 1644 . I also noticed that my desktop wallet icon was missing. I immediately
checked the "add remove programs" section it showed the it is still listed. I don't understand what could have happened to the icon. This happened before I had the chance to download the latest qt from the link that you
provided...I remembered to backup the wallet.dat file so is my btc within that file, and by downloading from the link
you provided will that create a new wallet, and by me having the wallet.dat file will from link automatic configurate
itself i.e will open will same passphrase, or what should I do at this point... I hope to hear from you SOON!!!

as long as the wallet.dat is still in place (it should as long as your service man did not delete it) it will work with the old passphrase.
if he just removed the bitcoin app from your system you are all fine.
if he deleted the folder %APPDATA%/bitcoin you have a problem though - and i hope you have a backup (if not please make a backup of the file called wallet.dat in there NOW)
