It will restore files from a flash drive after a virus

Restoring files from a flash drive after being infected with a virus can be a difficult task, but there are several methods that you can try.

1. Use antivirus software: Run a full scan of your USB flash drive using an up-to-date and reliable antivirus. If it finds an infection, remove it and check the availability of your files.

2. Check the presence of hidden files: it is possible that malicious programs simply hid all the contents of your flash drive without deleting or damaging it. To display these hidden files:
– Open the explorer (Windows Explorer) and select “Show/hide” -> “Hidden elements”.
– Also make sure that the “Display system files” option is set.

3. Use specialized software for data recovery: There are many free programs for data recovery from various sizes of disk storage (USB-Flash Drive). For example Recuva, TestDisk & PhotoRec

4. Contact professional computer services: If all of the above methods did not help, you may need to contact a computer specialist or a data recovery company. However, this will cost additional funds.

It is important to note that before performing any operations on your flash drive, it is recommended to create a full backup copy of it to prevent possible damage to files when trying to restore them.
