Computer updates - UGH

General
I updated my o/s last night. It took over five hours with a 1.5M DSL connection. And I have problems. I lost a couple of configuration files, which is my own fault. On the other hand, I also lost some important system tools, and that isn't. So I'm a tad grumpy today.
Gonna see what kind of support I can get on this issue. I really hope I don't have to do the full upgrade again, although I will if I have to.
The major problem is that the applications pulldown menu has disappeared. That means I can't start any applications without a lot of hassle. Things like admin tools. Which hurts.
I'm a bit surprised by this. Ubuntu Linux is supposed to be one of the best, and cleanest, o/s' out there. I'll see what happens when I report this.

What I lost is equivalent to the main menu button in Windoze. Which is also an ouch.
I currently have the drive out and connected to an external USB cable. A scan killed 7 trojans and a chkdsk fixed some miss-allocated space. Right now I am copying all the files to another external drive, 60-70 GB worth, and will try some more work on it.
Wish he would not torrent nearly 24/7.
Torrents are 'Trick or Treat'. Quite a few are trick, Trogans, spyware and virii.
