Not just word files but pdf and excel files too. Going in to check the disk surface. -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of John R Bartow Sent: Monday, October 14, 2013 11:21 PM To: DBA-Tech Subject: [dba-Tech] A whole lot of corrupted files Hi all, I have a client that called late today and said they had a whole bunch of word files on their "server" (Windows 7 PC) that won't open because it says they're corrupted. I remoted in and verified this. They use Word 2007 but it seems almost all of their files are in .doc Word 97-03 format. That's a bit odd isn't it? After scanning with Vipre, MalwareBytes and Kaspersky's TDSSKiller, I found no infection on this machine. It appears to have striped set for hard drive but I won't be able to verify that until I go in. I haven't run across anything that specifically corrupts Word files. Any Ideas?
