USB hidden files cause of virus


                                                           

Well some of us encounter this problem.Files in your removable device hidden or you though its already gone.but you dont want to format it cause of the important files in your drive, that is only infected with virus.

Now you try to show the files using foder option but it seems nothing change your files is still hidden.
I will share what i've learned from my friend,by using command prompt (CMD) you can now open all your files in your drive.
Just follow this simple steps.


FIRST press ctrl+r in your keyboard, type cmd then press enter. type cd D:\ (note: you can change the letter D:\ with the drive letter of your USB Drive or Memory Card).

Copy this line of code and paste it in the command prompt window.

attrib -s -r -h *.* /d /s

now press enter on your keyboard, and that's it!.
You files should appear now.

What the virus actually does is it hides your original files and make fake copies that when clicked spreads the infection, these fake copies are the ones detected by anti-virus and deleted. This trick will show all the hidden original files.
