do this :

1. open the run prompt by pressing "windows key + R"
2. Type "cmd" without quotes and press enter
3. at the command prompt, type "D:" without quotes and press enter.
4. then type the following command and press enter :

attrib software2 -s -h



Your folder will be visible after that.

A virus prob. IMO. BTW which antivirus are you using..

1. Open Windows Explorer .
2. In the address bar enter, "D:\software2".
3. Right click on a blank space in the folder and click properties.
4. Modify the attributes of the folder as per your requirements.
5. Go to folder options and make sure, "show hidden files" is checked and "Hide protected operating system files" is unchecked.

If that doesn't solve the problem, paste your HiJackThis report log here.
