Or  take help from any IT Expert near your location.

Or  you may just format your system and re-install your operating system and software's to be on the safe side. BACKUP Your IMPORTANT FILES before that of course.

“WMA” stands for “Windows Media Audio”. It is a proprietary file format created by Microsoft to prevent licensing issues related with the MP3 format. The WMA format was created in 1999 and Microsoft designed it to fight MP3 and Apple’s AAC compression methods. Comparing WMA with MP3, WMA maintains a higher level of quality at a lower bitrate particularly when comparing bitrates lower than 64 kbps.

Since this is a Microsoft proprietary format, it easily opens under Windows using Windows Media Player. If you are using Microsoft Windows but you are having a hard time opening a file in this format, use the “Open with” option. Start Windows Explorer then navigate to the location of your WMA files. Right-click one of your WMA files then point to “Open with” and then select “Windows Media Player”.

Popular third-party media players like VLC media player supports playback of WMA files.
