The hidden problem

jsjs

My pc has encoutered a strange error. It does not show hidden files, when in 'folder options' i check 'show hidden files' it doesn't do that. After clicking 'apply' and 'ok' when i reopen 'folder options' 'dont show hidden files' option is checked. Today i uninstalled avira antivir and installed quick heal and the problems started after that.

Its somekind of malware. They do this because they don't want you to see the malware files. The easy way is to do a full system scan with an updated antivirus. :smile:

Using an antivirus to remove the worm doesn't repair the damage that's been done. You need to modify some registry keys to get back to original settings, I did find them long ago when I was inquisitive, now I must look for them on some sites. I shall be back with solution.

download Emsisoft Anti-Malware & do a full system scan. delete whatever malware is found. then download TuneUp Utilities 2011 & let it fix problems for you. if still the problem persists, you may need to edit registry keys manually.
