I need serious help. So bare with my story, it isn't very long.
So everything was fine until the other day when one of the automatic updates for Mac Office came up. It was a legit (at least it looked legit) Apple update. So I downloaded it. The next time I used my MacBook (2 days) later, I was 'surfing the net' and a message came up that said (in like 5 different languages) that my Mac needs to be restarted and to hold down the power button for 5 seconds. So I did that and on startup the message came on again. I restarted and it came on again. I was like WTF! So I took out the battery and put it back in and it started up fine. Phew! I thought. So I tried to open up Word from the dock and it wouldn't open. Tried again. Nothing. Opened applications and tried from there. Still nothing. Tried Excel. Nope. Powerpoint. Nada. Basically every program that is in Microsoft Office won't open (though my other programs do). So I thought that if I shutdown and started back up, it may work. So I did. On startup it hung on a blank blue screen. Restarted and it loaded up fine. Tried to open Word and instead of nothing happening, I get a error message that says:
"APPLICATION LAUNCH FAILURE"
The application "Word" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "<Microsoft Word><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_SpeechRecognition><>"
What am I supposed to do now? What can I do? Please help.
TIA!
