These new Malware are getting more and more annoying to clean up properly, but it’s still possible! My latest encounter was with one that simple “hides” all your files. That is, it gives them a hidden attribute and they only appear hidden (only you have your folder options set to “show hidden files”). I found an amazing program thanks to the good people at www.bleepingcomputer.com that is called “unhide.exe”. It will go through your entire computer and restore all the files to their correct (unhidden) settings, leaving the Microsoft OS ones the way they are supposed to be (hidden). I did notice that in addition, it makes the “Start” Menu completely blank. To fix that, Right click on your Taskbar and select “Properties”. Select the “Start Menu” tab and click on “Customize”. All the options will all say “Don’t display this item” and your “Number of recent program to display” may be set to “0″, change that back to “10″ (default). Make the appropriate changes and Voila, you Start Menu is back.
