Hello, 

Try this 1. 

Click on "Start" -->Run-->type cmd and click on OK. 

"Command Prompt" will be opened --> Since you have mentioned it as F drive. 

Enter this command. 

attrib -h -r -s /s /d f:\*.* 

Now press "Enter" 

Now wait for the process to get completed. 

Now check your F Drive. 

After that, download the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from the below link 

https://ccm.net/downloads/security-and-maintenance/4621-malwarebytes-anti-malware/ 

Update it --> Perform "Full Scan" 

Note : Default selected option is "Quick Scan". 

Good Luck.
