Virus/worm hides folders
« on: November 21, 2007, 09:51:37 AM »
I recently found a virus/worm on my mem-stick. I cleaned it using avast and selected delete all. My mistake!! When I removed it all folders were hiden from explorer and I can only see them in command prompt only with the dir/a command. How do I get these files in explorer!
