unable to open jpg files
after recovering from a malware attack all my *.jpg files now show as *.jpg.block files and will not open. when i attempt to open on any computer the file displays unknown file format even after i rename them to .jpg files again. i have tries several viewers and jpg recover software without success. sometimes i get a red x in the center of the view. any suggestions would be appreciated. xp sp3. i just did a frest rebuild of pc so new jpg files are just fine.
thanks

I have just removed an infection from a computer without much of an issue, but the infection has left behind a big problem. It has renamed almost all of the common such as .jpg, .doc, .xls, .js, .php, .docx, .ppt, etc. to [filename].jpg.block, [filename].doc.block, [filename].xls.block, etc.
The situation has gotten worse. I have started renaming the files to remove the ".block" and none of the files work with their original extensions.
anyone with ideas how to recover the files? thanks. :banghead:
