I do not know if this is a security issue or just something else I need to learn. I have had this problem a long long time only with some files.

Another problem is I will be doing something quite mundane like trying to copy a file and it will NOT copy.

I may be crazy but it does seem to be somebody can control my computer as it is usually an important bit of information that will not copy - paste.

Ok this is my deal I have had a hell of time with antidepressants and have been researching and posting what I find on websites that are trying to out the truth about them.

You can surmise from my drug use that I am paranoid you would not be the first but try to keep that to yourself as much as possible and focus on what I need help with. Is this possible for another to control my computer at will and if so I do I find it and stop it.
What of the corrupt files?

Take it easy on me I am just learning so please explain things step by step.
Thanks Sandy

it is only the back-up file of the original files that you work with.
maybe you edit and save your original file into other folder. but this file lift to where you originally open the file

and it is not corrupted. this files holds only the changes you made in the original file. that make you think its corrupted.

What version is your MS-office?
