331410 2005-03-07 00:47:00 Sounds like a virus!
There was one a while ago that did this, maybe there is another one out that is doing the same thing.
Get your antivirus software up to date and run a full system scan.
You may have to rename all the files back to their original type but from memory the virus overwrites the data in those files with itself so you've probably lost all the files!
Restore them from you backup if this is the case :D

331411 2005-03-07 00:50:00 Sounds like u have a worm / trojan / virus or something that may have converted them.

Get this vil.nai.com

Or this www.paretologic.com

Which I think is better than Spybot, Adaware, and Trojan remover. It picked u something these other programs didnt.

Or do an online scan here http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

Or here www3.ca.com
