Word documents display as gibberish?

[hoorhay]

I ran malwarebytes the other day to clean a couple issues I was having with a laptop. After doing so my word documents no longer open up normally. They display the characters as some strange encoding. Is there anyway to display them in "Not Gibberish"?

Check to make sure your font is set to something legible (like Times New Roman).

Yeah, I checked various different fonts. And the encoding would change each time, relatively. But it'd still be gibberish each time. I'm at a loss
