I just reinstalled the missing applications and unfortunately, all user data is gone. To say I’m not happy about this is a gross understatement.

I would like to repeat that at no point in time did I give anything permission to uninstall these apps. What happened was that AVAST warned me about problems with two apps (Whatsapp and Android Camera) and asked me what to do. I chose to put them on the ignore list. That was all AVAST ever asked me.

I’m not saying it was AVAST that uninstalled these programs, but it was at least the trigger.
