Asked By Ericson Eric 10 points N/A Posted on - 11/01/2012

Hi techyv,

I have a problem with virus docx change to exe. All my .docx files was changed to .exe files and the worms or viruses did the changes. I can see from my program files that it is slowly eating all my important data and convert some files in a random way that the user will not be able to open those files anymore. I need your help to get rid of those viruses and if possible recover my lost files.

Hoping for your help and kind consideration.

Hi Ericson Eric i searched solution that may help you resolve your problem.

Maybe it’s a docx.exe virus you can download any antivirus software and start to scan.

On retrieving files maybe this method will help.

Those files that are change, maybe those files now become hidden and an .exe file pops up using the name of the file.

Unhide those files by:

1. Open RUN (Windows Key + R).

2. Then type on run control folders.

3. On the view tab, Check Show Hidden Folders.

4. Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended)

Hope this information helps.
