hello, i got a problem with my files, i was opening a zip in my music folder
and when i finish all my song where now in zip folders and now i can't open
any of this i tried to extact it but it say that the file is corrupt and it
shows it like a exe file, can some one help me
 
From what I can see, you've probably downloaded a corrupted zip file. Are you
using Windows' own ZIP extractor?
 
It has absolutely nothing to do with your AV, unless it's stopping you from
extracting the files. Could you reword your problem so I can better
understand you?

A corrupted file doesn't mean that there is an active virus on your
system.

If you downloaded the file, delete the corrupted one and download it
again.

If you didn't, you're in beeg trubble clueless... er, juless.
 
my problem is that every one of the files that i have in my music folder
become a zip file so now i have thousand of zip folders one for each song and
picture and video and when i extract it they are now setup files and they
dont open like mp3 or wmv

And you have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA when all of this took place?

What have you downloaded/installed before this happened?
 
i installed a program called cam studio and afther i did it i was gona play a
song and find all the files like i describe before, i have deleted the
program but i wont come back to normal
 
Try renaming the whole thing to <Bare filename>.ext, i. e. Music.zip or
Music.mp3.zip becomes Music.mp3. Still after reading that, it could be a boot
sector virus or something, if Norton doesn't catch it. Do a full virus scan.
