2003 installation changed all my files

[davidr]

I bought and installed Office 2003 student and teacher.
It installed all these .lnk files instead of my desktop
shortcuts and changed all the icons I had there.
The .lnk files don't work as shortcuts so I've lost
access to all my files until I can figure out how to
fix. Plus, it changed the icons and properties of
thousands of other files (inc. program files) into Word
documents that, when I click to open now, produce Wrod
gibberish and say it can't convert. Please help me.

Hmmm,
Sounds rather like a virus program got installed than
Office 2003. Are you sure this is an actual MSoft product
and not a "borrowed" version?? Can't remember the virus
name but I've seen this a few years back.
