yes, even I have the same problem of the value changing back to 0, after it was set to 1. Can anyone please tell me which anti virus locates that and destroys it?

Thanks

When you choose show hidden files it goes back to do not show hidden files?

Open the registry editor

go to LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVe rsion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\NOHIDDEN and LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVe rsion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL

and change value with this name "CheckedValue" to 1 and also "DefaultValue" to 1

if your problem persists then you must check your windows with anti virus settings

Best anti virus is (nod32)

Do as above to correct the problem with related hidden files, but before you must assure you are free from root kit virus otherwise this method will not work...because the virus still working..
I am effectively using bitdefender anti virus software to detect all root kit threats.....and it is amazingly working ......most secure to connect to internet ...the software will detect almost all type of root kit viruses......try....best of luck......
I have used NOD 32 but it is not effective.

Lightbulb Two general Advices

1. System restore should be the last resort when u discover that a virus has affected your system... Cuz most of the time when a Virus infects ur computer, it normally infects files in System Volume Information folder... This folder contain files about System Restore... So, Virus generally doesn't disappear cuz of System Restore process...

2. Make two folders with names autorun.inf and rqq2v.bat in each and every drive... As these r the most common malicious programs which try to create files with these names at ur computer when u use a infected removable drive or through internet... but by placing those dummy folders in each n every drive of yours you actually outsmart the malicious code which then won't b able to overwrite your 2 dummy folders...
U can hide those folders, if their sight irritates you... but its better to be safe than regret...
