Trojan.ADH FakeAlert

If this is what hit your computer, the files may have just been hidden. Give this a try:

  1. Click on 'start' (the round button in the lower left hand corner of the screen)
  2. Click on 'Control Panel'
  3. Click 'Folder Options'
  4. Click the 'View' tab
  5. Under 'Hidden files and folders', check off 'show hidden files and folders'
  6. Below that, uncheck 'hide extensions for known file types'
  7. Click 'Apply', then 'OK'

Make sure you back these files up just in case!
