I can't change the folder option to view hidden files. After I change it, and
click ok, the hidden files will not show up. It will still in the option
don't show hidden file when check back the folder option. How should I do to
solve this? Is this show that I have infected with some kind of virus? As my
antivirus also being disabled everytime I start my pc. Besides that, my
system restore also not working. all the previous restore points are lost. In
fact it say can't run system restore.

Thank you in advance.
 
Hi,
thank you for the advices. It helped.
It's infected by trojan.psw.win32.qqrob.hl. I deleted the infected files.
Now, the antivirus is working fine.

However, the hidden file still can't be viewed. When I change the view
hidden file in folder option, it won't let me change it. In other word, this
problem still remain.


sincerely,

Unfortunately, I don't have option to do a repair install. In fact, the
recovery cd I have can only paste the image into the hard disk. I can't do
any installation. Is there any way to do the repair installation from the
pre-install copy?

Thank you

Sincerely,
Tan I

Go to Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, View, Advanced Settings and
verify that the box before "Show hidden files and folders" is checked
and "Hide protected operating system files " is unchecked. You may need
to scroll down to see the second item. You should also make certain that
the box before "Hide extensions for known file types" is not checked.

Hi, i have the same problem, my show hidden files and folders box keeps
getting unchecked.

I have tried the

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr
entVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL
Delete checkedValue and then again creat new DWORD VALUE with same name
Checkedvalue with data value=1"

but the value keeps getting set back to 0.

I have scanned the computer, and its not Ravmon.

Is there anything else i can do?

I have done system restores.. and they work.. until i turn off the
computer and the problem reoccurs. I'm guessing its in a startup
program, but there are no "weird" start up programs.

Thanks.


Edit:
I used a program called ExplorerXP http://www.explorerxp.com/ to find
the files and change them from hidden to unhidden. But I would still
like a way to show the hidden folders.

Do you have any 3rd party programs . I tried changing something on my
comp , till I realised SpywareGuard change it back . Disabled spguard
, changed , and then reenabled spguard .
 
What specific anti-virus and anti-spyware programmes are monitoring your
system?
