Files can be damaged in a number of ways. Here are some common examples:
1. Your file system may become trashed. If the file tables are damaged, then so are at least some of the files.
2. A failing hard drive or other bad media can cause files to become corrupted.
3. Files can be corrupted through transferring them. File sharing is popular and yet, bugs in the software, people moving incomplete files to share folders, PC problems, and other things can introduce corruption. Sometimes users have fake or corrupted files and don't even know it, and they share them to others. There are people representing various industries who deliberately put corrupt or fake files online to help discourage copyright abuse.
4. User error, deliberate sabotage, and overwriting files can damage them too.
5. Computer Viruses can infect or corrupt files.
