gsoul2soul · 19-06-2008, 10:40 PM

well a virus attacked my drive... and i ended up having all the folder in my pendrive infected

Every folder had ".exe" file in them... and so the story goes

My antivirus deleted the worm or whatever (*****es)... and now my folder are perpetually hidden!!

I cannot unhide them... what shall I do ?
HELP !
