Hello out there,

I am having some problems opening a docx.txt document. Instead of text I get a message "FILE QUARANTINED

The original contents of this file have been replaced with
this message because of its characteristics.
File name: XXX
Malware name: 'Exceedingly compressed size'.
I work with Word 2003.
What should i do?

Thanks for any input.

Actually this is quite urgent. Thanks!
