Hi,

yesterday one of my users laptop get infected with virus. After removal of virus i saw that “Virus” hide every file and folder in the laptop.  It was quite a pain to “Choose file and folder” right click on it, choose properties and un-tick the hidden option.

Then i decide to write a script which can do this for me.
