Recently i got a virus on my computer (It was something like r318.bat/clko.exe) i couldn't see any hidden files and couldn't properly access my harddrives.
AVG Virus removed the files and i removed the autorun.inf from all my drives and it says it's clean but when i select 'show hidden files' it still wont show them. AVG is up to date and everything seems back to normal, so im stumped.
Does Anyone know what i should do?

It's probably still contaminated. AVG is far from perfect. Get this: Avira AntiVir Rescue System
Open it and it will create a bootable CD. Boot from it and use the spacebar to select English.

I wish. 
We've had really good luck with it here and at another site which will remain unnamed.  | |

I've been caught in the "scan trap" too many times.
Scan in Windows - cannot delete file.
Scan in Safe Mode - cannot delete file.
Create UBCD4Win CD and finally get the bugger. 2-3 hours wasted.
Scan once with that CD and you get everything first pass. Nothing else makes sense anymore. | |
