    Hi,


    The files are still there, but they were made hidden.


    To be able to recover them and to prevent this issue from now on we recommend the following steps:


    1) Disable external devices Auto-play.


    2) Enable "Show hidden files and folders" in Windows, then connect the affected USB stick.


    3) Save the attachment "shortcut fix.reg.txt" to the computer, rename it into shortcut fix.reg and run it.


    4) Now you should be able to see the original files.


    5) If you have Bitdefender run a scan on the external device to ensure it's malware-free or run this diagnostic tool (while the USB stick is still connected) and send us the output at bitsy@bitdefender.com


    For an extra layer of protection we recommend Bitdefender USB Immunizer. It's a free and easy to use tool that helps make sure you transfer the files, not the viruses. It disables autorun-related threats before they access the computer. Once installed, it constantly watches for newly inserted USB storage devices and immunizes them on the fly.
