How to restore missing and hidden files after you successfully removed malware from your system? This is surely a challenge and sometimes even a problem for many PC users. Why is it so? First of all, let us tell about this problem in more details. There are many virus programs in the cyber world today that can cause this problem. We can tell of the latest among them – File Restore, File Recovery, Data Recovery, Data Restore & Data Repair. All these programs surely have good names, but, in fact, these are malicious applications that cause danger to your file integrity. These viruses belong to the group of fake hard drive defragmenters (fake HDDs), also being referred to as bogus system optimizers. There have been many of such fake HDDs since probably the end of the year 2010, and today they are still persistent in attacking many computers all over the world, irrespective of country, gender, nationality or wealth status of active PC users.

At present time many users worldwide experience a lot of problems with their PC due to the malware persistency on their computers. In particular, they have the problem of missing files, disappeared icons, empty, black or blank desktop, without the ability to actually see any files or folders in order to use them. In addition, the entire list of the programs in the Start menu would also seem to be gone. All the above-mentioned problems are caused by viruses originating from the same family that “gave birth” to System Fix, System Restore, Data Restore, Data Repair and Data Recovery hoaxes. The list could be much longer, of course. These malwares belong to the category of fake hard drive defragmenters. They first started to attack computers quite a long time ago, this first happened in the autumn of the year 2010. Once these pests penetrate into the attacked computer they do their job of scaring user whose PC got infected. First of all they do the job of hiding all important data, making files and folders actually invisible. However, they are not deleted. They are simply relocated to another folder specially designated by this rogue program. Then, once the job of hiding the data is accomplished, the very virus program appears, saying that it will fix the PC if you pay for its full version.
