Hello,

If you did not format your flash drive, then check whether the files are not in

hidden mode. Follow the following steps.

Step 1:

Click on the below link and download the file "AutorunExterminator"

http://en.kioskea.net/download/download-11613-autorun-exterminator

Extract it --> Double-click on "AutorunExterminator" --> Plug your flash drive now.

This will remove the autorun.inf files from your flash drive and also from drives.

Step 2:

Click on "Start" -->Run --> type cmd and click on OK.

Here I assume your flash drive letter as G:

Enter this command.

attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.*

You can copy the above command --> Right-click in the Command Prompt and

paste it.

Note : Don't forget to replace the letter g with your flash drive letter.

Now press "Enter".

color: Custom Color(RGB(48,48,48))

Now check for your files in Flash Drive.

Step 3:

After that, download the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from the below link

http://en.kioskea.net/download/download-105-malwarebytes-anti-malware

Update it --> Perform "Full Scan"

Note : Default selected option is "Quick Scan".

Good Luck.

hey guys i have this issue that after i paste this attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.* in the cmd it say's "access
denied" what shall i do.. btw i have this problem on my external hard disk "wistern digital" thx in
advance..


someone who just had this problem - Apr 13, 2011 3:06am BST
Chances are, you have to run "cmd" as an administrator. When you click on the start menu, search for "cmd" in the
search field, then right click and "run as administrator". Then use the same command (attrib ...) and it should work
fine (other than not being able to change permissions for the "system volume information" directory).

Make sure the original infected file gets deleted / quarantined or you may end up having the same issues later on.
