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!
PS: All folders in your thumb drive become shorcut? I got the solution here… 🙂
PPS: If your PC still having problem, you can either scan your PC with antivirus or repair it to speed up by using Registry Easy.
Salam cypherhackz,
May i know where you get codes? If possible can you share with any tips(such as link). I am interested to know more about security and the solution of problem raised due to virus or system failure
What did you mean bro? It depends on the problem and each problem has different solution.
i’m having a problem with my BIOS that in japan language… how i want to fix it to english language..?????
reset it. remove cmos battery from mainboard and unplug the machine for a few minutes
code aper plak nih budakcons? tueh kan salah satu command dlm cmd promptl.nak tau pasal atttrib…gi google pasal attrib =D.xpun masuk cmd prompt, taip attrib /?
The viruses can hide in windows but will be visible through cmd prompt that we can prevent viruses entering into our computer
Thanks for the tips. But can you explain it further? What are
-s , -h, -r , /s and /d
from
attrib -s -h -r f:/*.* /s /d
:p
Another great solution is by using hidden file tool, http://jomphp.com/cara-pulih-hidden-folder-virus.html
that url is infected
cypher…
nice solution..it’s good for those who r familiar n remember the strings or they hv the internet connection to view the method to unhide those documents. but i found some pretty easy way to at least open the documents.. in a window/ explorer, there’s an address box for location of the folder we’re brrowsing right?? u just need to remember the name n folder which u put the documents. n then type it in the box..as an example, let say the file is located in F:\Dokumen Penting
just type F:\Dokumen Penting\Filename.doc
if u dont remember the name just put the first alphabet of the filename, and the box will show u the list of files starting with the alphabet..
adios
i know this trick when i learn batch file virus programming when i was first grade on high school…
@Kit kat
-s -h -r is switch for the main command which is attrib(modifying file attributes)
-s means show system files
-h means show hidden files
-r means show read only files
and for the /d and /s
it is used to execute the command(attrib) to all subfolders and files…
For further information about “attrib” please refer to link below:

hope this link help to explain what you want to know
Hehe..
Wow… Great.
It worked.
Thanks a lot.
ada satu lagi alternative, guna knoppix, knoppix ni os live cd dari linux dan ia percuma http://www.knoppix.net/ boleh run kat mana2 pc. guna ia sebagai penglihatan kedua kepada fail2 kita. sbb dia os lain.. virus2 ni takkan berfungsi.
i have a problem with my girlfriend, so she always hiding her self form my eyes. which command may i use to unhide her?
Thanks buddy. The solution worked. Keep it up 🙂
it works. thanks buddy
No problem. Glad to hear that.
Thanks alot for the solution provided here. It works great and now I could see my hidden files inside my external hard drive.
But how do i delete or remove the exe file created by the virus?
Can someone provide solution for this as well? thanks
You are welcome. The easiest way is by scanning your drive with the latest antivirus database updates. Then look if there is any autorun.inf file in your drive. If found, delete it.
this is great , i have rescued a camera, a memory stick and a flash disk, it really works
Thanks a lot i have been able to rescue my external drive from being
formatted.

Thanks a lot for your simple instruction to fix hidden folder! I recovered all my folders hidden in my 3 USB drives! Caused probably by a virus! I nearly bought a software recovery but I search and found this page! Thanks again and keep it up friend!
I was not able to solve it neither by MS-DOS commands nor Windows Registry. I found this software in a forum, I hope it solves your problem: http://ldc.mx/descargar.php?des=usbshow
