Disappeared files and folders

[Guest]

Hi all,
My computer was attacked a couple of days ago. As the result of this attack
I can not see files and directories in a root folder of drive C:. E.g.
pointing Windows Explorer to C:\ shows no files or foldres as well as running
the "dir" command in the command shell. The files are actually there. It
means that I can see the contents of c:\windows for example.
I have all the options for viewing the hidden and system files set, so I'm
able to see them except for the contents of the C: root folder.
OS: WinXP Pro SP2.
Any ideas?

What exactly do you mean by "attacked"? What antivirus do you have
installed (name and version). What firewall are you using? Please post
back with a better description of your system, the "attack" and how you
know you were attacked, and any troubleshooting you've already done.
