Recover virus infected files from pen drive

We use pen drive to share data or file with another computer.Usually we scan pen drive using antivirus software to detect virus in pen drive before open it.If antivirus software found some virus infected files it will delete those infected files.That's why when you open your pen drive after scanning ,some files will not appear.Because this files are already deleted by antivirus.But don't worry.You can recover this missing files.
To recover this files,go to My Computer/Tools/Folder options/View.Here mark the Show hidden files and folders box and unmark the Hide extension ... and Hide protected .... box.Now you can see your lost files in pen drive.To avoid virus entering in pen drive,always use zip files.That is make zip of those files that you want to keep in pen drive.It is efficient because virus couldn't enter to zip folder.So make zip of every file and then keep it in pen drive.When you want to keep it from pen drive to computer,just right click and select exact all and then click twice in Next option.Then all file will convert to normal format.It is very useful to stop entering virus through pen drive

  1. If the files are infected by viruses then you may not be able to view even the 'show hidden files' option is enabled.

    If you are facing the problem you have to use Command commands to Recover Infected Files .
