My flash memory was infected by unknown virus so that some folders of it was hidden.I scan it with several antivirus!but they aren't effective.how can I update my antivirus?and what is the best antivirus?

Kaspersky or Nod32 are the best AntiVirus programs. Kaspersky is more for professional use but Nod 32 will probably run quite well on less powerful PC's .

AVG is the best free antivirus that I know of.
Make sure you do an anti-spyware scan too - spyware and malware will not always show up on a virus scan. I use spybot search&destroy or Adaware.

Dear ben:This is an easy way for missing all of important files that I need they. Format doesn't effective because all of my systems have that virus!? ؟؟؟؟

Well how do you know you have this "virus" if you have properly scanned your system?
Did you scan in Safe Mode ?

*Head Desk*

My Computer > Tools > Folder Options > View Tab > Hidden Files and Folders.

There you go, but you STILL haven't answered my question?

I suspect that there is no virus. When you say "flash memory" what do you mean exactly?

Ok, at first my flash memory (=cool disk ,like a bigger floppy : 1 G:o ) has many folders, when I connect to a computer, suddenly some folder was hidden. And
I astonished , because :
when I search my folders in cool disk, there wasn’t any folder ,but when I write
I:\ Foldername ,it is appeared!! (I:\= name of drive flash memory in my system)
I was anxious , then I understood that my flash was infected by one unknown virus or worm …
Dear ben: I tried your solution but it was useless. In folder option and marking show hidden folder my folder doesn't find.
Believe me . I found a virus in my flash , my systems that Kaspersky and several updated antivirus doesn't detect it,:eek: Do you like that I send some files to your email so that have this virus (to sure that I tell truth?! :o )

If the virus is spoclsv.exe or any new virus then you can install avast...

To check whether your files are available, check the space available on your disk and if anything is used just enter the relative file in address bar.

Hi every body-hi ben-and hi dear friend BenReilly:p :
Are you OK today?:p
I asked a question about a virus that hide folders:"service.exe"
As you said I downloaded avast antivirus and scan my computer.but it's useless! In folder option :"dont show hidden folder" is active.and when I try to activate "show hidden files"
It doesn't do! I install several updated antivirus like Kaspersky ,Node32,AVG,. but they didn't detected this virus.!
Now what can I do?:confused:

benn11 · Jul 6, 2007, 02:06 AM

If you know your folders that are on your memory stick, then you can enter the relative filename in the address bar and enter. For example F:\myfolder. After you enter the folder should open up and then you can copy/cut the files and folders to another place...

That is right,I tried this way heretofore but for music folder ,this way is not right.when I write filename of music folder in address bar there is nothing !furthermore it isn't sufficient ,maybe I forget filename,then what can I do?:o
Please guide me an antivirus so that can detect this virus(service.exe):confused:

benn11 · Jul 6, 2007, 08:44 AM

If you can't remember the folder name of your music then you have to get a data recovery software and see whether it works...

Recovery software doesn't need.when I scan a drive in my computer with kaspersky,folder name is appeared in list of scan .thanks ben but you didn't understand my intention.I said my music folder when open there is nothing:in other word they are empty . And my main problem is not music folder,is virus service.exe that I don't have antivirus detect it and delete it!
Please guid me an powerful antivirus:confused:
