The Problem
My girlfriend was panicked when she found out her Final Year Project files were missing from her thumb drive. She thought the files were already gone by a virus attack or were accidentally deleted by her friends.
After I did some analysis, I found out the files are still there but a virus had modified the file properties to ‘Hidden’ and hide all files in the thumb drive.
Although she tried to “Show Hidden Files” but the virus does not allow her to view them. Luckily, she has a very intelligent and clever boyfriend who guides her on how to overcome this problem.
The Solution
1. Insert the thumb drive to an empty USB slot. Take note the drive letter. For an example, F:.
2. Press Windows + R, and type “cmd“. Ok.

3. Enter this command,
4. Press Enter and wait for the command to execute.
5. Open the thumb drive and you should see the files that were hidden by the virus.
Conclusion
Hopefully with this guide she can help her friends to solve the same problem. And yes, I also hope this guide will solve your files hidden by virus problem too. BTW believe me, university is the best place for virus to spread!

Hi! I get the message “Access Denied – E: \ System Volume Information” What to do next? ๐ Thank you!
Run your MS-dos prompt as Administrator then follow the instructions..
my pc said “Path not found – F:/” ….what will i do?:(
Depending of what volume letter is your usb drive, you should change the command:
F drive: attrib -s -h -r f:/*.* /s /d
E drive: attrib -s -h -r e:/*.* /s /d
G drive: attrib -s -h -r g:/*.* /s /d
I hope it helps!
Regards!
