Title: recover files corrupted by malware
Post by: gats15 on March 17, 2010, 03:36:15 PM
Hi my partner recently clicked on one of the common virus links on facebook, infecting the PC with malware. I restored my system by downloading Malwarebytes which successfully removed the malware.

My problem is it seams my mobile phone video files are now unplayable.  I now get the message that the files may be corrupted.

Is there anyway of recovering these? is there any software i can download free or buy.

Any help much appreciated. :(

Please download the newest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader from Adobe.com (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html)

Before installing: it is important to remove older versions of Acrobat Reader since it does not do so automatically and old versions still leave you vulnerable.
Go to the Control Panel and enter Add or Remove Programs.
Search in the list for all previous installed versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader. Uninstall/Remove each of them.

Once old versions are gone, please install the newest version.
