StevenMiller Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Hello experts, I had to clean a trojan from my laptop this morning. After a few hours of work and Malware scanning, I got rid of the issue and everything seemed to be fine. ...then I realized I was wrong. I realized 'some' of my adobe files in my hard disk cannot be opened with 'File corrupt' error. I know these files are valid and usable (at least before the issue) I realized the files that cannot be read has a PDF version 0.0 in the attributes. The interesting thing is this issue is seen in some adobe files and not in others. I copied the supposely corrupted files into my PC, the issue is still the same on the PC - files cannot be opened. For some files I have backups but for some I don't. So need to find a way to recover them. Please help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
