Thread: 500GB of data missing

    Default

    I turned on Hidden files and folders and Found the Folder . The Folder was moved to a different folder... By accident or virus I don't now. If it was by accident than why didn't the files show up when I searched for them.....

    If your hidden files&folders was turned of, and the folder was hidden then it would not have showed up via the search.
    Glad you found it!!
    If its a virus, your wont be able remove it from "hidden", there's a trick to it, but just let me know if this is the case
    Virus or no virus, install MSE

    I'm suspecting its a virus. I use a small script file to generate a text file of all the data stored inside the folder and it saves the text file to the same folder. If the the folder was moved by accident how did the text file end up in a different folder? I think should format and do a clean install just to be safe.
    Thanks for the help..

    Kids used to miss-drag & drop a lot on my PC when they were younger.
