Hello,

How do i recover my Word files on my flash drive which now have an asterisk and underscore before their filenames and all have a uniform size of 4KB. Microsoft Work cannot open these files because each and every file is corrupt.
Does this mean these files are virus or trojan infected?

Thanks so much...

Hello,
# Download USB Fix
  • Launch it, a shortcut will be created on your desktop.
  • Choose "Clean" option.
  • A pop-up will follow
    Connect all your external data sources to your PC (Usb keys, sd cards external drives, etc...)
  • Once you're ready, click "OK".
  • While cleaning, you will lose access to your desktop, but this is normal.

The numbers of analyzed and infected elements are displayed.

# Copy/paste the report here.
