UNHIDE FILES HIDDEN BY A VIRUS IN A USB

Are you bothered of your saved files that were hidden by a USB virus? Worry no more for as easy as 1-2-3 steps you’ll be able to retrieve your files. Here’s what you should do:

1.      Insert your USB/ memory card to an empty USB/ memory card slot. Take note of the drive letter. For example, F: (for drive F). Press Windows + R, and type “cmd“. Click Ok.

2.      Enter the command shown below:
                                               attrib -s -h –r  f:/*.* /s /d


 
 



Note: You have to change f: depending on the drive letter where you inserted your usb drive. Observe the spaces between the characters, they are also significant.

3.      Press enter and wait for the command to operate. Open the usb drive again and you should see the files that were hidden by the virus.


Now you can see your hidden files in your USB. Problem settled!
