2. Tips, Tricks & Warnings

• After you "unhide" your files, remember to scan your computer/Laptop for viruses if you don't know how these files were hidden in the first place.
• Make it a habit to check for hidden files. If you keep on seeing hidden files on your computer without you really doing it, it is highly possible that there is a virus. You would need then to run a strong anti-virus and do a complete computer scan in order to get rid of this.
• Check which types of files are usually being hidden. The pattern may be able to tell you what type of virus you have in your computer.
