    And then we tried to scan the flashdisk using antivirus program. We are very happy because antivirus
    can detect and remove virus in the flashdisk, but it doesn’t return our files and folder hidden by the
    virus. I hope the virus did not delete the files, just make it hidden. If your files was deleted by virus, we
    need a tool to restore files. If the files was hidden, we need to restore our files manually using command
    prompt. This tutorial is for Windows 7 user.

    files attribut to restore.

    to the drive, for example your flashdisk is on drive E. Type “e:” and enter.

    attrib –s –h *.* /S /D and hit enter.
