[QUOTE="WinXPert, post: 817528, member: 4591"] If your PC is clean, you can simply use ATTRIB on your USB drive at the CMD Prompt type (Replace Drive: with the appropriate drive assignment) [FONT=courier new] ATTRIB [DRIVE:] -S -H /S /D[/FONT] [FONT=arial]If you have McShield enable [I][B][COLOR=rgb(250, 197, 28)]Always unhide items on flash drive[/COLOR][/B][/I][/FONT] 360 TS would unhide folders and files if infections are detected. If your PC is infected, that's a different story. You have to kill the malware first and disinfect before you clean your USB drive. Since you mentioned vbs script, try to kill all wscript.exe processes first and delete its startup entry with a utility like System Explorer. If there are no wscript.exe running, look for any process with random filename with the same icon as wscript.exe. [/QUOTE]
