Can someone help me, please?

I have a problem, i can't open my pictures anymore.

The normal .JPG has changed to .JPG.SBTNLLI

 

Anyone know how i can turn it back?

Its over 6000 photo's these are photo's over the last 3 years and i really want them back!

 

I copied them to another pc with a external drive but that didnt help unfortunatly, and no i'm kind of a dumbass and i don't have a backup...

 

Please help me out here!

1. right click the image(s)

2. click rename

3. remove the .stbnlli from the end

4. press enter

 

also, looks to me like you probably have gotten yourself a virus, id suggest downloading malwarebytes anti malware and running a scan.

also, what antivirus do you use?

His issue is that the file extension was changed, I gave directions on how to change the file extension back to what it should be.

 

His issue is not with the default program, the file extension was changed which made it so whatever his default program is could no longer open the image file,

ohh, well that is my way to fix that kind of stuff,

btw, why should he have a virus?

I said he most likely has one as there are some viruses out there that will change file extensions to fuck with people.

Ah, yea he should use a virusscanner though, Malwarebytes ftw

As you have 6000+ files the solution that TheKDub gave might get somewhat onerous.

 

I suggest doing this:

 

from a dos box:

 

cd (directory where files are)

ren *.JPG.SBTNLLI  ^ *.JPG   (^ denotes a space)

 

 

This should rename all of the affected files back to their correct .jpg extenstions.

If the affected files exist in more than one directory.....then we will have to get more creative.......

 

 

Good luck.

Thanks everybody this helped but now i can't open the images anyway because thay are damaged and/or to big say windows photo vieuwer...

Anyone know how to fix that?

[middleclasspoor]

It's not looking good. It sounds like either the jpegs are corrupted or the program you are attempting to view them with is corrupted.....or both!

 

I think TheKDub is right....you may have a virus! 

 

I would try a virus scanner (plenty of free ones out there) and see if that helps.

 

If the virus scanner doesn't fix your problem, then I would attempt a system restore from before the time you first noticed the problem you are having with your jpegs.

 

 

Good luck.

I already tried that before coming here.

Nothing seems to work i think i lost all my photo's, surfing the web with this problem and i can't find a solution so far.

 

I think i need to go to a specialist with my external drive and see what they can do with it...
