(3) you are a developer running something like a debugger (or an anti-virus package which works like one).

If Microosft Reader cannot open up the files, neither can Clit.
1 - Definitely no virus, and especially so since this is on two different PCs (which I never even so much as share files between) and a PocketPC. I can also rule out corruption to the eBooks themselves since they were working on all 3 recently and I haven't overwritten with a master copy at all.

2 - Well I added a bluetooth dongle to my home PC, but my work PC hasn't changed in a year.

3 - Well I am a developer, but I've not went anywhere near processes other than my own app in years, and my work PC has no development tools installed (obviously same for my PPC)

I am quite confused by all of this. :?
