alphabet.even a saved document gets deleted in this way when i open it

I agree with bj, this sounds like the work of a virus. Even if you have an
anti-virus application on your computer, get some 'second opinions'.
Reputable online system scans are available at these sites:
TrendMicro's Housecall:

Symantec (Norton) on line scan:

Panda Anti-Virus scanning

If you don't have anti-virus software installed, then get some yesterday
<g>! If budget is a consideration, there are good free ones available such as
Avast! http://www.avast.com/
Grisoft's AVG from http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/

Budget permitting, I can recommend the following as being some of the best:
Kaspersky Anti-Virus:
http://usa.kaspersky.com/downloads/t...erskyantivirus
(free trial version available - excellent product, on all of my systems)
NOD32 from
http://nod32.softwaresecuritysolutio...FQgoJAodqFVgAQ

While you may not have heard of either, they are both superb products and
actually may offer added security through their seeming anonymity. A recent
study by ZDNet revealed that the top 3 anti-virus products are often
specifically targeted by viruses and trojans to be gotten around, making them
potentially ineffective against newer malware released into the wild? The
read on that study is here:
