There seems to be a new virus floating around that removes everything from picture and office files.
A friend I work with has lost 100s of .doc and .xls files. All that's left when she opens them is the message fileerror_22001.
Luckily we back up everything so she can restore hers but anyone that hasn't done a recent backup might want to just in case they get infected.
This seems to be effecting a lot of people and the only application that can currently remove the virus is Malwarebytes.
Hope no one else gets caught out!
