Hello,

Try this 1

1) First make sure that you have entered the command correctly with spacing as

given.

If you are using Windows 7 you need to open the Command Prompt as

administrator to run the attrib command.

Click on Start --> In search box, type cmd. When the cmd appears in the

search list, right-click on it and select "Run as administrator".

"Command Prompt" will be opened.

Now enter the attrib command.

attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.*

Here I assume your drive letter as g:

You can copy the above command --> Right-click in the Command Prompt and

paste it.

Note : Replace the letter g with your drive letter.

Alternative Method :

Click on Start --> In search box, type control folders and press Enter.

[If you are using Windows XP then type control folders in Run and press Enter]

"Folder Options" will be opened. Click on the "View" tab.

Now select the option "Show hidden files, folders or drives" and uncheck the

check box "Hide protected operating system files" --> Click on "OK" button.

Now look for your files in your external drive.

Later undo the changes you have made by once again going to "Folder Options"

--> Click on "View" tab and click on "Restore Defaults" button --> Click on "OK".

2) Click on the below hyperlink "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware" and follow the

instructions.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

Download the "Free version" --> Install it --> Update it and perform "Full Scan".

Good Luck
