I experienced a "Fake-alert" Trojan attack... MalwareBytes was able to eliminate it, But all the contents of my folders show "empty"..My hard drive data shows the same content, So it is as if the files are there, But invisible...I have tried system recovery, But it error messages me back that it has failed... VERY confused...Help!!

Hello and welcome I wish you would have contacted the forum first because doing a system restore you have probable infected your computer again.
You should always delete the restore points in you computer after an attact and start new ones. Now I will research your problem and get back to you shortly.

My System SpecsRe: Folders empty after virus attack!!
Hello
I want you to download malwarebytes. After you download it then run the update to make sure it is current. Then run a full scan using malwarebytes. I will give the link at the bottom of the page. After the scan malwarebytes will save a copy of the whole scan, when it is done with it's scan you will be able to see in red if there are any malware, trojans left on your computer and then it will need your permission to get rid of it and of course the answer to that will be yes...
First things first as they say but please do this one right away here is the link, download the free version...
Malwarebytes
After this is finished post back with the results. Do NOT!!! use any restore points for doing a system restore because it can reinfect your system, we will talk about that later...
