Coincidence Virus Kills My Files

Call it the Conficker Virus, or call it coincidence, but my aged 2003 Microshit Office installation fell over today, killing off my email. After a re-install I found that none of my word documents would open. Hmm.
So, after restoring from Sunday’s backups and finding them still un-openable, I’ve swapped to OpenOffice. Now all is well.
The only reason I haven’t switched completely to something better than XP, like Ubuntu GNU/Linux, is that Live for Speed needs windows…..
And yes, I am current on all XP fixes and twiddles, and my anti-virus software is tip-top.
