1. Go to the virus scanner manufacturer's website and look for customer support.\n2. If your computer is that screwed up, I would wipe it clean and reinstall the operating system (after saving the important files on disk).

If you have restarted your spreadsheet program, and it has prompted you with options to restore previously opened work, then you can restore it...Otherwise no.... Sorry.\nIf you wish to avoid this in the future, (and assuming you are using Excel) go to tools -> Options -> Save Toolbar...Set you auto recovery destination and time frequency  to a higher number. It also  by default tells you where you may have a saved copy still residing that you might be able to start at least part of your recovery with...\nGood Luck! :)

Run your virus program after you do read and do this first:\n\nWindows ME and XP utilize a restore utility that backs up selected files automatically to the C:&#92;_Restore folder. This means that an infected file could be stored there as a backup file, and VirusScan will be unable to delete these files. You must disable the System Restore Utility to remove the infected files from the C:&#92;_Restore folder.\n\nNow go here: to learn how to disable system restore:\n\nhttp://vil.nai.com/vil/SystemHelpDocs/DisableSysRestore.aspx
