Hi. Im not famliar with hex viewer/editors. Which one should i download? Once downloaded do i need to open the affected files in the hex viewer or do i need to open the affected files with open office and copy and paste the contents into hex viewer?

The files were saved in RTF. I don't have Microsoft Works Word Processor. When i opened the files with open office the data was not there just pages of lines. Looks like data corrupted. So whats the next step?

Hello. The affected files when opened with notepad do not have the data in them. When opened with MS word(unlicensed version) the files have pages of square boxes instead of the pages of text and numbers that should be there. Possible data has been corrupted? By a virus perhaps?

A little while ago i opened up one of my wordpad documents that was 7 pages long and to my great surprise all the data i had previously saved in this document was missing! I swear i did not delete the 7 pages of data myself. Today i opened up another wordpad document and guess what all the data i had saved in this doc was no longer there too! http://extremetechsupport.com/images/icons/icon9.png Whats going on here?!!! How is my laptop machine deleting this data?! Is there any way of retrieving the lost data or is it lost for good? I repeat i definitely did not delete the data knowingly myself.
