Can folders be prioritized instead of alphabetical?

Virus has hidden all my folders?

  • So I put someone's flash into my pc the other day and i noticed that the folders on their flash were all .exe files, but I tried opening them anyway. After that, all the folders on my external hard drive were changed to .exe files and so was everything on my own flash. Once I done a virus scan (I use Kaspersky 2012 if that helps) All the folders on my external and flash were set to hidden. I have already set my folder options to "Show hidden files and folders" but I would actually like to unhide the folders. If I right click on the folders and go to properties, it only allows me to untick the "read-only" attribute, the "hidden" checkbox remains grey and won't allow me to untick it. I don't want to play around with weird code and stuff that I must do in DOS, Im scared I might damage my pc. Is there a simple way of fixing this problem? (I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate if you need to know)

  • Answer:

    I had this problem before. You can try my way. I used registry files to unhide all files and folders hidden by virus. Go to http://www.mediafire.com/?5lvl0x4kgjcf4c7 and download the file there, then unrar it and you'll get two .REG files which will fix your problem (don't worry, no virus here). Just double click these files and choose "Yes" to merge them to your computer's registry system. Last but not least, update your antivirus program to clear the virus and be careful with unfamiliar .exe files next time. Hope the above work for you.

Two things could do this - autorun.inf worm or malware. I would plug for a form of autorun.inf worm first.

I'm not an expert, but it sounds like you're really screwed. I mean REALLY screwed. I would recommend reinstalling Windows and destroying the flashdrive.

Run a system restore, then install antivirus
