I can't see Hidden files/folders in my computer. Even I enable the option "Show hidden files/folders" in "Tools -> Folder Options", its automtically disabled again.

Sol: Open regedit and goto:

Code:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Advanced

In right-side pane, change value of "Hidden" to as following:

1 - To show hidden files
2 - To not show hidden files

If it doesnt work, then scan your computer with an anti-virus software.

Hey pls try to search the forum before........

looks like u have been hit by d Win32.Brontok.A@mm worm
if i'm not mistaken den u will b unable to open even d registry

Your options

1. Use d Brontok Removal Tool given in d link above

2. Run a virus scan using either Kaspersky or NOD32 (Recommended)

i recommend d latter bcos den u will b sure dat ur comp has been cleaned of all viruses

These days avast is not good in catching virus...its missing many viruses...uninstall avast and download kaspersky 7 trial....sure tat u will find virus in ur compu.
