*Simpson visits his best friend Joe*

Hey Joe! Whats up!?
Don't ask bro, Down in the dungeons....
Why?What happened.
Well , I was working on my thesis, was almost done...and all of a sudden , I try to access the document but it's no more there on my laptop!
What!? How come ?
Well the last thing I remember doing before this happened is, I opened a link on Facebook that apparently contained some really interesting video leak of a famous politician. I clicked on it but the link was broken. 
That looks like you downloaded some sort of malware! Which antivirus were you using? I told you to always use an updated one!
Ermm...none actually...I was lazy enough not to have installed one :0 plus I didn't really think it was needed.
Well now you know how much it is needed. Give me your laptop. Let us first disinfect it and then we'll try recovering your documents through a file recovery program! And by the way, you should always maintain backups of your work!
Oh ! And apparently I need to be browsing with caution too! I should'nt be clicking on every other link !
