Hi guys.
My C++ dev environment was recently infected with 23 viruses and after having my anti-virus software remove them, I discovered that in the process, my Make file was removed as well. Therefore, I am unable to create executable files from my programs. I've never been in a situation like this before but did manage to find a GNU Make file from this site: GNU Make - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation
However, there are so many files included with it that I'm not sure what I have to do to get the problem fixed. A walkthrough would be nice. Thanks. :)

You can't just download any makefile. What were the source files? Maybe you can write another makefile to replace the deleted one.

Pardon my ignorance but which folder would I find them in?

Okay, heads up. I recently downloaded the latest beta version of Bloodshed Dev C++ which had additional MingGW source and binary files and it appears to have solved the problem. So everything is smooth sailing here, guys. Thanks anyway. :)

Dev-C++ is bad choice since it's no longer being developed/supported. I'd recommend Code::Blocks, or maybe even NetBeans with C++ plugin. You can always choose a simple notepad and compile by hand.
A conclusion is where you got tired of thinking.
#define class struct // All is public.

Code::Blocks? My Code::Blocks installation is about 40 MB, without MinGW. NetBeans is a bit bigger: My installation is about 220 MB.

At the very least, upgrading to wxDev-C++ will give you a more up-to-date package, including the compiler.

Also it's more likely that your anti-virus software saw a danger in your make-file that may not have existed. You should have checked it by hand, if it was anything other than a small text file then you may have a risk.
Please, write clearly with proper structure. Double spacing makes the text feel un-jointed, Capitalizing Every Word Means People Stop Before Every Word Sub-Consciously Which Is A Pain In The Backside, and use code tags! (The right most styling box).
