Your file extensions probably changed because your computer's infected...sounds like you have a worm. Try AVG Free AV...that should find it.

Download AVG, update it, scan your computer.
Search the forum & you'll see other people have had this problem...AVG has fixed things for quite a few ;)

None of my files were deleted, but they all turned to .zip files. D; Will downloading the virus scanner save the files or only rid the bug?

Your files are gone. Those zip files are copies of the virus that you have. You need to get rid of the virus first before you worry about getting more files. After you get rid of the virus, you could try a file recovery program to try and get your files back. Follow the advice in birdy's post.
