Hidden File ScannerOverview

Editor: Scans drives for hidden files and allow to unhide or delete them.

It also does a quick scan at start for the appearance of AutoRun.inf files on all devices. If such an autorun.inf file is found, it will display a dialog where you can delete, unhide or inspect the content of the autorun.inf.
It automatically rate the autorun.inf files as normal, hidden, suspicious or dangerous file.

Note: If you have hidden files (and I am certain you do have), don’t Panic and start deleting them! You might screw up your system. Its absolutely normal to have hidden files. Its suspicious only when executable files (.exe, .dll, .sys, .drv etc.) are hidden. But even then, it does not mean anything. If you have such files, and their file name does not help you to identify the file, right click it and open the file information dialog. You will see for most executable files the copyright of the executable file, which might help you identifying it. Additionally, lookup the file in google.
Upcoming version will have a link to google to automatically lookup the file.
