Re: mp3 extension changed to zip?

Your file extensions probably changed because your computer's infected...sounds like you have a worm. Try AVG Free AV...that should find it.

Download AVG, update it, scan your computer.
Search the forum & you'll see other people have had this problem...AVG has fixed things for quite a few

If you need more help, try one of the sites below.

Try the advice here about file recovery. Some people have had good results after using Restoration.

interesting. thank you name game. i spent two and a half hours trying to clean it. the online scanners kept crashing. 10 viruses, and over 8000 infected files. i saw trojans and downloaders, and other goodies.
i told them i would come back another day to reinstall windows. now maybe i'll give AVG a shot first. that's what i use on my home computers.
they have a Norton suite, but looking at the logs, i see they only go back 30 days. i'm thinking they were without protection before that.
