Hi everyone,

I am newbie here.

I would like to ask for a help.

The problem is, I have a .doc file using MS Office Word 2003 that suddenly changed to a .vbe file (VBScript Encoded Script File).

I am guessing that this was caused by a virus.

If I change the file extension back from .vbe to .doc,
then it will appears a window named with "File Conversion - MYFILE.doc",
which has many text encoding option.



Does anyone here can help me to convert back my file to .doc and use it like a normal .doc file or
remove the virus if it were true caused by virus without having to delete the original file such as
threaten by any anti-virus software?

Thank you very much

Emes

I notice that it appears a new error message such as written below:

"TASK MANAGER HAS BEEN DISABLED BY YOUR ADMINISTRATOR"

Hi Emes,

If your system has been infected by a virus, the first thing you'll need to do is to get that cleaned up. Until that's done, anything else will be a waste of time.

Unfortunately, the corruption done by some viruses is so severe that the infected files are unrecoverable and can only be replaced from known good backups.
