My nephew downloaded a virus. I ran a scan and found 3 or 4. I went into the folder and deleted what i found, but all our files were hidden. I managed to unhide most of them, but when i click on program files from the start menu, it’s showing that all the folders are empty. The desktop is blank and when i try to right-click nothing pops up. Also, I found on the scan a virus in the system volume information folder named A0087220.exe. I tried to gain access to that folder but it’s always denied. Then I noticed that random music will start playing from the speakers and system restore won’t work either. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!
AND when I try to google anything it automatically redirects me to another random site, like Target.com or Yellowbook.com
ALL files hidden, blank desktop, random music

Let’s see if this solves some of your problems…
Download unhide.exe
http://download.bleepingcomputer.co…
Save it to your Windows folder:
Right click on unhide.exe and select: Run as administrator (Win7)
Restart the computer.
This will unhide folders/files set to hidden by the infection.
Any progress?
