Recovery from new Virus of USB Drive

Yesterday my cousin came to me with a problem that when he opens his USB drive in my computer it shows  nothing but below image:


When he tries to open the shown shortcut it shows nothing and the data is still there...

If you notice the banner of Microsoft Security Essentials, it shows and removes the virus but the files seems to be deleted from the USB Drive...

Simply copy the USB Drive and paste it any where in your system drives...  Better if you create new folder...

Now enable the hidden files and folders from folder options as shown below...


Go to views tab as shows below...

Select Show Hidden Files, Folders and Drives
and click on 'OK'
Now if you go the the folder where you copied the files, under the name of your USB Drive folder...


Open the folder and you will find the following files and folder...

The drive sign which is highlighted, if you open it... Bingo... You will find you files there...

Simply Cut and paste the files from it to your desktop or anywhere you like and format the USB Drive, quick format will also work...

And you are done with....

Paste the files back into your USB Drive and done...

I hope the the posting will be helpful to the readers...
