The most annoying way that the virus work is by hiding our files; mostly folders and docs. You can get rid of the virus, but not always turn back the files into visible again or take forever to do it. Here is an easy, really fast way to make those hidden into visible.
First, open a Notepad and copy and paste this.
attrib -h -r -s /s /d
This will remove all attributes to all files (all files and all folders and subfolders). Then, we save this with any name we want, in my case “doc”, and put a ‘.bat’ (without the quotes) at the end. Also, be sure to select in “Save as type”, “All files”, like in this example.
You will get a file like this that you will put in the folder that you want, including Hard Drives and USB Drives.
Now look at this example, all files have the attributes hidden, read only and archive.
Now double click on the ‘doc.bat’ and that’s it.
This is an old trick, but very effective. And I hope that some people can see that batch programming will never be obsolete.
Perfect step-by-step guide, will follow right now and report a little bit later.
