Virus Infection causing PowerPoint File Corruption

It is hard to accept that your PowerPoint file has gone corrupt. But, the fact is that it does sometimes get corrupt.

To elaborate this, presence of a virus in the system can adversely affect the PowerPoint file, causing its corruption. The whole outcome of the procedure turns out to be fatal as you fail to access the file and hence the data stored in the file. To get your data back, you can use a valid and updated backup file. But, if you have not maintained a backup file or the backup falls short, then you need to go for an efficient PowerPoint Recovery software to retrieve all the contents of the PowerPoint file.

Take an example – You download a PowerPoint file via Internet, sent by your boss. You have to present this file in front of the attendees of an important meeting. Now, as the presenter of the business meeting, you initiate the meeting by double-clicking the PPT file, but surprisingly the file does not open. You try to do so again, with no success. But everything was stored in that presentation. Which means, the entire meeting which was based on the data stored in the presentation can not be continued. What could possibly happen?

Cause:
The most probable cause can be PowerPoint file corruption. It was downloaded via Internet, so there are chances that either the file was virus infected or your system was infected by virus, which might have corrupted your PowerPoint file.

Resolution:
Consider the following measures to resolve the issue:
  • Try to open the file on another system. If it opens, then the problem is resolved.
  • Try to repair the file using ScanDisk utility and open it to access the data.
If this does not work, you can recover slides by inserting them in another presentation. Try doing this as this might be the last method to retrieve the contents of the file.

However, if the issue still does not get resolved, and the PowerPoint file refuses to open, then you need to opt for PowerPoint Recovery as a solution. Such tasks are effectively executed by ppt recovery applications, which employ extremely powerful scanning algorithm to scan and repair the corrupted or damaged PowerPoint file. These tools are interactive in nature and do not make any changes to the original contents or settings of the file.
