A friend of mine had a virus and a friend of his went to his house and just formatted his computer without making a backup of his pictures or anything. Is is possible to get those pictures back ? I told him I don't think so.

Alas, with a format, they are gone. Had they only been deleted a program like Recuva from the people who make CCleaner might have found them.

A terrible way to learn about doing regular backups...
