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 !

The "hide" check box in properties is also disabled... help !!

open cmd.exe and go to the folder/drive where u wana unhide the file and type:

attrib -h -r -s filename.extention

i'd recmd u to install updated AVG free antivirus and rescan ur system...can u tell which virus it is???
