File Hidden by Virus (Pendrive)
I believe all of us must be frustrated with the virus, worm, trojan and malware because sometimes so hard to remove and they will cause you a lot of trouble. not only you but also your friend(if they borrowyour pendrive or hard drive filled with those culprit(virus.win32.vb.dg).

Our case here today is “How to make your hidden file emerge from the depth of invisibility?”. Because, even though you go to Folder Option > View > Show hidden File, you still can’t see the folder inside your hard drive.

Now, lets get started.

First we use the manual method.(I prefer this method because, you can learn something instead of using software + few clicks and you end up with nothing) What i mean is, isn’t it great to learn how to use command prompt?

Step 1:

Run “cmd” (alternative way to open =  Windows Button + r, type “cmd” and enter)
>>> For windows XP User, Click Start > All Program > Accesories > CMD/Command Prompt. Then follow steps 2.
Step 2:

Type “attribf:*.*/d/s-h-r-s”

Note that the “f” is your drive letter. You can change it to C: , D: , depending on which drives infected by the virus.

 Step 3:

After you type the command, press enter. The times for this process to complete depending how big your storage and how much data inside. The larger occupied data on our drive, the longer the process will be.

 If you curious about the command above, you can type “help attrib” and press enter. There you can see what’s the meaning behind the -s -h /d etc.
