URGENT: MALWARE INFECTED MY COMPUTER!

Question

URGENT!!: A virus infected my usb today, it corrupted my most recent file which was extremely important. To remove the virus I had to delete the file. I can get the file back but it comes back with the virus, and deletes the source code. 😪
I dont have any backup system, and I didn't upload the file to the cloud... 😭

How can I get my precious file back without the virus????

Answer 2

I was going to recommend you to go at a certified system security expert, but it seems you've already taken care of the matter.

Answer 3

they are not probably deleted, since it's a usb, the virus just hid them and replaced them with a shortcut.
you will be able to see them by going to folder settings and enable to see hidden files and show system protected files. as long as you didn't format it.
