Excel cannot open .xls file

Hi
Got a new customers pc here. she had a virus last week (one of the ucash ones) . she then ""spent all day trying to fix it following instructions on various forums""
She has no idea what she actually did. the virus isnt there anymore, but now nearly nothing works on the pc. sys restore doesnt work and every single document is giving me the error ""the open office xml file xxxx.docx cannot be opened because there are problems with its contents"" details: ""the file is corrupt and cannot be opened"". this also happens with xls, xlsx, docx, doc, csv
