Not just word files but pdf and excel files too. Going in to check the disk
surface.

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?

TIA
John
