There are some files hidden in my pen drive.

I tried folder options to enable viewing of hidden files, but it is not possible?

Is there any way out?

Insert your pen drive. Open it. Select search from your menu bar. select all files and folders. In the first text box enter a *(astrick) and click search. This option shows all the files in your Pen drive even if hidden.

If your computer has a virus you'll never see any hidden files because virus interrupt your system to view the hidden file of you USB pendrive

Amit actually you can detect any virus or malware through general antivirus softwares but if it's a "TROJAN", then you'll need special software....go for McAfee virusscan or any1 else....
