View hidden files and folders for viruses on USB

 What pendrive (USB / flash) not infected with virus throughout their lives? I think there is one that is saved from this. It is a common malady among all devices are of this type and it is reasonable to do so much emphasis on these items.
 One of the most common viruses from USB devices is that hiding / hidden files / directories contained in the USB drive making them almost invisible. One way he knew (and used) was to open CMD, explore the drive, and view these files.
 But now I found myself in winXP a neat trick that allows a single line of command, to make all these files and directories are visible on anyone who, in one way or another is infected. While it clear that it is often impossible.
 The trick is to simply open the Windows console (Start> Run "CMD"). What we already have the console open, you will proceed to write the following command line:
attrib-s-h-rf :/ *. * / s / d

 Of course, f: is the letter assigned to the USB drive.  If your system has assigned another, you need to put that letter. You can see it easily from my computer. With a simple trick we can assign to files and directories visibility, which is what you want.
 If a drive letter on your system does not change, you can consider making a BAT file and thus only a matter of running the file when you have a USB stick with the virus that has these characteristics. Perfect for computer centers or Internet cafes.
