Hide U Disk File |
The virus/Trojan hides the USB disk or the normal files or folders on the hard drive, and then renames itself to the same name as the hidden file/folder and hides its own file name extension. At the same time, the virus changes its own icon to a folder icon or a common software icon (such as pictures, videos, and so on). The virus executes and infects the computer after the user double-clicks the virus file if it is not aware. |
In Windows Explorer, select the Tools-> Folder Options-> view, choose Show hidden files and folders in the dialog box, and clear the Hide extensions for known file types to see all the files on your removable hard disk or USB drive. Delete the program files that have the same name as your own files (typically exe, COM, bat, and so on). |
