John,

.SCT is the default extension of the scripting component, which is why the files were attacked.

All of your .SCT files (the memo file where VFP stores the property settings and code of the form) are totally lost. Restoring from backup is about your only recourse. If you happen to have a .EXE with the forms builtin to it, you can use a hex editor and actually find the .SCT file in there with a little bit of work.
