Hello,
I have noticed that on all my files, whether they are:
(.docx), (.xlsx), (.jpg), (.avi), (.mp4) ......
there is an icon "exclamation point in a red circle."
I am using Vista Home Premium (SP2).
I had McAfee but uninstalled it, and now I have Microsoft Security Essentials.
Despite my research, I do not understand why this icon appeared out of nowhere and, most importantly, how to remove it.
Could you help me? Please
Thank you in advance.

Hello,
Are these files local (on your computer or storage) or networked?
Since what action have you encountered these issues?
Is the version of Microsoft Office original?
Best regards. -
Hello imleh85,
Yes, these files are local.
I didn't understand the second question.
Yes, the version is original.
Best regards. -
My second question is what manipulation did you perform before encountering this malfunction?

Try repairing Microsoft Office via (Programs and Features)

To answer your second question, I have no idea. I haven't done any particular manipulation.
I will try what you suggest, but there are several options and I don't know which one to fix. -
Repair what you can repair; if not, make a copy of one of your files and open it on another PC to see if that works; otherwise, a system restore may help.
