Windows 10 Virus

[mchlmuia]

Hi everyone, my pc recently got infected with what I think is a virus and all folders in my drives including drive C(windows installed) have been HIDDEN. When I click on any of my drives the folder is empty. The only way I can access my files/folders is keying in the folder directory in the directory bar.
A) When I click on drive Q


B) When I key in the circled directory manually

Note : the files aren't deleted
when you view the contents in cmd it shows that the folders are there

PLEASE help I have tried everything that i have thought of but haven't worked and am becoming desperate and thinking of formatting the whole pc. PLS help.

Open a powershell prompt and type the following

$files = Get-ChildItem Q:\ -Attributes Hidden,System

Foreach($file in $files) { ATTRIB -S -H $file.FullName }

They should all be unhidden

What did possibly cause the files being hidden?
