I am using Trend Micro Titanium antivirus, and when I cleaned my hard disk using this antivirus, it found EXE virus and cleaned them, after cleaning the virus, all the folders are hidden in my removable hard disk.
I can find the folders by entering their addresses like (J:/movies) but not by clicking on the drive. So, I don't know all the folder names to get them like that.
what is the solution?
Trend Micro Titanium Antivirus is good security against antivirus, cleans and disinfects well. Some viruses are moved to virus chest or quarantine check them and delete them as well. Update your virus definitions and they provide some removal tools for some strong threats. These antivirus cannot delete or clean them, you need to download the removal tools, contact the support centre of Trend Micro.
EXE virus is one of the threats, spreads by just a click, It moves to external drives. You need to know whether that is a folder or an exe files, check by going to the properties of the folder you will come to know what exactly it is?
These types of viruses hides the original files and duplicate the folder on the same name with extension .EXE files. If you scan with a antivirus it removes or cleans them, but the original files are not saved by the antivirus. You are typing the folder name or path in address bar, then only you can access the files. Here Go to Tools-Folder Options-View tab-check the dot show the hidden folders, files and drivers and uncheck hide empty drives in the computer folder, hide extensions to know files types. So they are displayed here, select all by pressing Ctrl+A and go to properties and In general tab uncheck the hidden, click apply OK. so here you need do for the all folders.
A short way to do is just open the drive and select all the items in it and uncheck hide option in General tab. After doing all these check the hide empty drives in the computer folder, hide extensions to know files types. That's it.....
