Windows Tips

How to Unhide My File and Folder Caused by Virus

I. Sometimes this infection can be solved by:
  • Going to Windows Explorer
  • Tools menu
  • Folder Option
  • View Tab
  • Choose “Show Hidden Files and Folders”.
  • If the files will show up, simply change the properties of the files/folders. Uncheck the “hidden” checkbox and the files will show again just like before.

II. If the above doesn’t work, and your files are still hidden, do this one that will surely work.
  • Go to the command prompt.
  • Go to the drive where your hidden files are located.
  • Type the following: attrib -s -h /s /d *.* (this will unhide all your files that have been hidden by the virus) i.e. F:\> attrib -s -h /s /d *.*
