Hi,

I've some how gotten something ware when I go to check show hidden files and folders in folder options, after I click Apply and then Apply to all folders, it automatically does not show the hidden files/folders. I've dug around and found out that it's some sort of virus, but How do you get rid of it, I've scanned with Avast and Symantec and they haven't found it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
