Virus Hides and will Not Show Files Folders
Hello. Newbie Here. I have Win 7. I just purchased this Dell Laptop with preloaded software and apparently free viruses. I've used the following to disinfect the laptop. Malwarebytes, Sophos, TDSSKiller, Spybot S&D, ComboFix and running Avast Antivirus. I think this computer is virus free, but I don't know for sure.
I think the virus did some damage to my registry. When I attempt to Show Hidden Folders by clicking the radio button, then click appy,....Ok, it doesn't work. When I open the Folder Options box again, it shows the files are HIDDEN. It automatically reverts back to DONT SHOW. I've tried to use Unhide.exe, but a pop up applet says "There was a problem retrieving a necessary environment variable. Unhide has Terminated"!
Inside the Unhide.exe CMD box it says "appdata doesn't exist! Unhide Terminated! I would love to get this resolved. Let me know what you need. Thanks in advance.
