INFECTED WITH FOLDER VIRUS
Chances are the Folders have been Hidden by the Virus only few Viruses actually delete the Folder/s.

''SAVE THIS FILE AS "SOMENAME.VBS" AND RUN IT On Error Resume Next Dim fso Set fso = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.Filesystemobject") '' REPLACE THE "X:\" BELOW WITH THE DRIVE PATH OF YOUR '' PORTABLE HARDDRIVE FOR EG.

Also, i can't guarantee that the situation will be under control because IF the Virus i running or runs again, the same problem will arise again, you need to terminate all the processes of the Virus itself to make sure all goes well.

What the Script does:
1. Goes to your Portable HardDisk Path ("X:\" in this case)
2. Goes through each of the Application(.exe) Files
3. Renames those Programs (Files of No.2) with NEW File-Extension ".exe.Replaced" instead of ".exe".
4. Un-Hides all the Hidden Files and Folders in the working Folder.
5. Does Step 1 to 4 to all the files and folders
Note: Be sure to replace the "X:\" with your Portable HardDisk path.

Also Right Click the Script and Run As Administrator if you're using Windows 7
and don't use it on your SystemDrive(The Drive in which you have your Windows OS installed).

Also to be sure it's Autorun Modules(if any) are deleted, run this tool too:
