    Virus made the windows folder a hidden system folder


    I got a virus on my pc, and the windows foulder became a hidden system foulder
    I then scanned it with norton, it removed the virus, and now it wants me to reboot, is it safe to reboot?

    the virus is gone now, and my computer still works perfectly fine, so everything is solved
    what I mean by hidden system foulder is where it is only visible if you hit show hidden foulders, and uncheck hide hidden operating system files
