I am working on a computer that has a number of .jpg files on them. &nbsp;A lot of them have been changed to .jpg^ or .jpg^^ and thus cant be opened. &nbsp;I have worked on changing some back by hand but it is going to take a long time as there are over 1,000. &nbsp;Not all are like this. &nbsp;Any one know what might have caused this or if there is a easy way to change these all back?

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.

Anti-spyware is software that removes or blocks that software; some common vendors include Malwarebytes, McAfee, Spybot-Search and Destroy, Ad-Aware and BitDefender.
