post-trojan cleaning, Hidden/System folders no longer hidden/system
Greetings.
Win7-64, Home Premium, SP1.
I had a trojan infection last night, and successfully cleaned it using Combofix and MBAM, however, this morning I opened Windows Explorer, and noticed that hidden & system folders no longer have their hidden/system attributes, and they are all showing in Explorer, (folder options are set to hide these). This is true across all 3 of my hard drives.

Is there an 'easy' fix to this, or should I start a repair install? I can't help but think that this is not a good thing at all. Can I just reset the hidden & system attributes for those folders, or am I in for a long day of reinstalling stuff?
many thanks in advance for any help!
