Well you can easily recover the corrupted files. Just run a scan on the drive where all the files were present. And since you mentioned the problem occurred while you downloaded a torrent, most likely your PC is infected.

Before you try to recover the old files, run an antivirus scan again ( use Bitdefender this time)
Bitdefender: http://www.bitdefender.com/Downloads/
After cleaning up the virus if any, use Stellar Data Recovery to recover the files.

If you get confused at a point, I have your back!

The most probable reason I can think of is that the files might have corrupted. Does this problem occur with all the files on your PC or just some specific files?

Hi,
I'm not sure if this will help at all but try running a system file scan. It can repair corruption but usually this is only with system files. Look for command prompt in the start menu, right click on it and run as administrator. Type:
sfc /scannow
Press enter and await results.

I also found a little app called 'File Repair'. It's free and i even tried the download just to make sure it was safe so give it a try:

File Repair is worth giving a try!
Here is a little something I would recommend in case File Repair doesn't help.
File Repair Software to Repair Corrupted Files - Stellar File Repair
I tried the JPEG Repair software when my SD card went crazy, and I was able to recover back the files. Hope any one of the two software will help!
