The issue is caused by a virus
I have been seeing a mass amount of cpu @ my shopr with this issue
Its a hidden file virus under autorun.ini and its a trojan
It puts out all sorts of bad files like 0wk2.com, kavo.exe, tavo.exe 1i.com, njc.com
What you need to do is look @ the hidden files from comand prompt by entering the drive you want to scan c:
then type attrib -h this will show you the current hidden files for tha drive copy the file names down (copy paste on notpad) the download tweak ui power tools from microsoft install the stop the auto runs w tweak ui download kill box and enter the hidden files that you found in kill box theis will delet them and stoping the auto runs will stop it from reloading the only ones you dont want to delet or ntdetect.ini, ntuser, bootmgr, pagefile.sys andhiberfile.sys also go to the reg and search and delet tany keys found relating to the viruses I will be posting a better step by step directions later but if your smart enough you should figuer it out

OMG, it's a virus I remember I got this problem and I couldn't do anything about it because my anti-virus didn't see anything so the best way is to format your pc...

My soon to be ex-wife got onto my computer and found the passwords to my different accounts and the websites that I have visited, I always delete all of the browsing history that is in the properties of microsoft explorer, but she knows the tricks of how to look on the hard drive and found all this information that is stored there. How do I find all this information on my hard drive... what kind of files are these and where and how do I find them and how do I open them and do I need to open them up with another program?
Thank You

hello mate I'm pretty sure it's a virus, so my advice is that you format completely your pc. I might be wrong but scan your pc before formatting.

How come ??
It can be only a virus.. it may be an error on drive C:\
Are you sure you've followed the following steps :
The documents you want to view your hidden files - Tools - Folder Options - View - View hidden files?
If this dont work, it might be really a virus, try scanning your drives.

Good day to you guys.
Days ago I had formatted my comp when it's infected with kavo thingy shit virus and something else that disable your hide files and doesn't allow you to double click on your local drive. I appreciate if someone can tell me how to get rid of this problem.

Guys I have also got same problem I can't see them anymore and when I enter in tools, folder options so as to click and see my hidden folders...it returns back to "do not show" any clue????..
Also ,u "regedit" command is not working in "RUN".. please give me the possible solution
Also ,u "regedit" command is not working in "RUN".. please give me the possible solution
it may be a due to a virus I have also faced this problem. Due to this I was totally restricted to access to my regedit, taskmgr and all other "exe" files to open from the run command and when I try to do this my system shuts down . It was due to a virus called " Brontox " . Go to google and search an antivirus for the brontox and try that.
Thanks
Thanks
I had the same problem. the answer of Libin is correct.
Too easy to do it and it works.
Thanks again Libin.

Thanks again Libin.
look guys I had same problem what I did was
1 - used norton antivirus to know what files infected on my pc
2 - then I opened with the safemod and deleted them all 1 by 1 and make sure I didnt forget any thing
3 - downloaded disk heal program *google it* this fix the drives which dont open double click and folder option dont show
4 - for the hidden problem I followed **libin** direction throu Run and it fixed it self by it self much thanks to u libin
libin's Methode
=========
(Go to Start --> Run, then type Regedit
2. Navigate to the registry folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHO WALL
3. Find a key called CheckedValue.
4. Double Click CheckedValue key and modify it to 1. This is to show all the hidden files.)
that should be it guys.. formating wont solve nothing on the begining cauze I tried ti 5 times and every time I get same error so good luck for all :)

I got the same problem too.. can't view my hidden file...I have windows crystal. Recently I have formatted my pc and I dont have any anti virus programs installed yet. When I inserted my pendrive and tried to see the hidden files I found this problem in my pc. If its a problem of a virus, will it delete the hidden files in the pendrive? PLEASE help. The hidden files are so important so that I hid them. PLSSSSSSSSSSS reply

You must remove the malware first. CounterSpy V2 (http://www.sunbelt-software.com/Home-Home-Office/Anti-Spyware/ is free for two weeks but it is great because it detects spyware others like Search and Destroy can't. I don't think virus can do this kind of dirty tricks. It some kinds of trojan horses that anti-virus program cannot detect and remove.
Good Luck.
