All Exel and Word Files Unreadable

's Computer Specifications

Hi Everyone: I started having a problem several days ago unable to open Exel
or Word files from the hard,floppy,cd drive or email.I was able to solve the
problem by doing a System Restore.Yesterday all the restore dates were
gone.There was also a new desktop icon for an old version of Outlook.When I
opened the current version I was asked if I wanted that to be the default
email reader.I have done system scans with Spybot,Maleaware,and
Microsoft.Nothing has worked.I started at 8:00pm.It is now 5:00am.Any and all
suggestions or ideas are welcome.Thanks...Joe

And do a virus scan which you appear not to have done.
