Just yesterday I said i sud copy a file from my external hard disk to my friend's system but to my greatest dismay the antivirus clean off everytin on my hard dis as it was requesting me to delete a trojan virus it detected and u know all dis anti-virus if u did not delete such alert the device wud not open, so i deleted the trojan on my eternal hard disk thats how av not been able to access my files any more

But when i plug the same external hard disk to my system, it detected it from MY COMPUTER, it even shows the amount of free space and ised spaced on the devices but when i double click to open it tells me tht folder is empty.

As it is I can see tht the hard disk still has the files there(over 100Gigs) but when i attempt to open it it tells me the folder is empty.

Plz wht can i do or wht sud i do to get my eternal hard disk working well again and have access to my files most especially.

Tanks

the vius has cahneged the attributes of all your files to hidden/system - which is why you can't see them .down load this tool

unzip it, run it , browse to the folder . the files will show select them all by using shift and uncheck kidden, system
they should show

you need dotnet 2.2 installed to run it . no prob if you're on vista
