    Problem with virus hidden all my files on external hd tried everything


    Cannot see my files on my external hdd, i think because of a virus.
    I tried everything i know.
    Malwarebytes
    Superantispyware
    Avg anti virus
    Spybot
    Cmd attrib ...
    REgistry changes
    Folder options
    ccleaner
    auto run exterminator.


    I know the files are there because it shows my external drives half full like it before and now they are just hidden.

    A little more information please.

    * Fill in your System Spec's
    * Is the Ext. Hdd USB, E-SATA, or Firewire?
    * Have you been using the Hdd regularly for back ups, or is this the first time?
    * How many INTERNAL Hdd's do you have?

    Take a look in Device Manager; is the Hdd recognised? Then 'Computer' - 'Manage' - 'Disk management' - 'Storage' -
    - Is the Ext Hdd shown by its Drive Letter? Is it shown as OK?
