Click on the below link and download the file "AutorunExterminator"
https://ccm.net/downloads/security-and-maintenance/5911-autorun-exterminator/
Extract it --> Double-click on "AutorunExterminator" -
This will remove the autorun virus from the drives.
Step 2:
For xp ,go to run and type
cmd and click ok
For vista and 7
Go to start and type
cmd
Now right click on it and select run as administrator
Now run this command
attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.*
where g refers to your external hard drive letter
this should unhide your files
Let me know how it works

i tried what you told me ( attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.* )... but is says access denied - G:\system volume information :(
hi..just woke up, sorry :) ohh will it take minutes for the attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.* thingy? it just showed access denied, I didnt know I still have to wait sorry... and about the AutorunExterminator, I downloaded it and shows "0" zero autorun found...
hey! I'm done with it... already have my files here with me.. thank you so much sundar7701!!!!!!!!.... I know I'll be back :P

hey sundar...i'm sorry to bother you again, but everytime I plug in my external hdd, it keeps saying USB device not recognized. what can I do? I tried troubleshooting it the way we did the last time (For xp ,go to run and type
cmd and click ok
For vista and 7
Go to start and type
cmd
Now right click on it and select run as administrator
Now run this command
attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.* )...... and it says PATH NOT FOUND
cmd and click ok
For vista and 7
Go to start and type
cmd
Now right click on it and select run as administrator
Now run this command
attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.* )...... and it says PATH NOT FOUND
i did not replace G since that is also my external hard drive letter

Disable autorun feafture
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/967715/how-to-disable-the-autorun-functionality-in-windows
This will stop external drives from opening automatically.
Always run a scan on flash drives before opening them.

USB device not recognized. is in no way related to attrib command or hidden files.
It may be a hardware issue
Did you try USB different ports?
Turn off your PC,remove the power cables(especially UPS ) and wait for 3O minutes,reconnect them and turn on your PC and try to plug in your hard disk.
See if the PC detects them
Also check if it works on other PC

I have the same problem here..and I already download & run your software.
But when I use the command (in cmd), it always said..
'attrib -h -r -s' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
Would you help me, please...
Thank you

C:/windows/system32
See if you have a file called attrib
Option 1:Open your command prompt and run these commands one by one
cd\
cd WINDOWS\system32
Now run the ATTRIB command
Option 2:
Go to Control Panel >System >Advanced >
Click on Environment Variables
Go to System Variables
Locate and highlight PATH
Click on EDIT
Add this following line to the beginning of the Variable Value list:
C:\WINDOWS\system32;
Click ok and try to run the command
For example for me the value is
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem
We need to replace
replace C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS\system32\System32\Wbem
This is not needed if first option works
