Display The Files That Have Been Hidden by Virus

At this post, we will discuss how to display and bring back files that have been hidden by the virus.
This problem usually appears after we did virus scan on the flash drive or in our computer. After the scan is complete and we want to check whether the files in it is still OK, it turns out we can not find some or even all the files. But when we check on its properties, the drive is not empty, still contain aliases. This can be concluded that our data has been hidden by the virus.
So, how to file so that we can show back?

Follow this step:

1. Click START --> RUN
2. Type cmd and press enter
3. Type the name of DRIVE. For example, we want to display the data in flash drive, and it is in the drive (F:) then type: f: and press enter
4. Type dir /a and press enter
5. Type attrib -r -h -s *.* /s /d and press enter
6. Refresh a few times, and then open windows explorer

**Note: OS = WinXP (For OS other than Windows XP, I do not know how this can work or do)

Good luck and always stay away from the virus!!
