A Virus has changed all you folders into .exe files and hidden the folders. Your antivirus doesn’t see and virus and you don’t have access to your data.
-Note the new files named porn and sexy
-Note all the files are 224KB in size and all dated with the same date and time. There is also a autorun.inf file and a could be other .exe files. Delete them all.
-There are also new entries in startup pointing at two of those files.
-I use Vipre and today with signature version 16046 the virus is detectable, however if it’s in startup it still runs folder hide etc.
