Hello, sent to your email with a desktop computer file .ai (Adobe illustrator). Home downloaded, run, gives me that the file is corrupted and can not be opened. The computer at work was not mine, so I carried him out. Backup no fucking= ((, What to do, as quickly as possible to restore it if at all possible?
 
You cannot fix corrupted AI files, but you can recover deleted files from source location with a recovery software like recuva . Do it quickly as once the HDD partition is overwritten by other files recovery is no more available.

Step 1

Launch Adobe Illustrator. Click “File” and select "Open” from the context menu.

Step 2

Choose the file you want to recover in the file-navigation dialog. Highlight the file but do not open it.

Step 3

Press “Ctrl-Alt-Shift” on a Windows PC, or press the Command-Option-Shift” keys simultaneously on a Mac.

Step 4

Click “Open” while holding down the keys. A blank window will open. Close this window.

Step 5

Navigate to the directory containing your file with the work you want to recover. Open it and look for a copy of the original filename preceded by an underscore (“_”) character. This is your recovered file ready for editing.

or you can try to use recover Illustrator online
