Strange Type of Computer Virus

My word program got strange type of virus, after I had placed my doc
files on Internet file storage (https://my.huddle.net) normal view got
extremely wide (out of normal size) for all files. My antiviruse
couldn't detect such virus (I used Norton Antivirus 360 and Panda
Antivirus - latest edition). Do you know about such virus. What
Antiviruses do you advise to use?

I agree, but problem immadiatly appeared for all files as I opened the
file. As I rememeber firsttime "restore" had worked but later it
didn't help.

Although that mainly depends on how you define 'malware'

I used antimalware programs:
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.c...87c5955?hl=ka#
and then "Detect and repair" command, now files are OK, Maybe I'll try
what happens if again download them from the same source
