Recovery of Virus affected files

We all use a pendrive for storing files, photos, docs, videos, songs, movies etc etc. The ease of carry and the large storage space in a small handy device make it more popular and easy to handle. A pendrive is another name for a usb flash drive.


Most of these pendrives do not have any security. The chances of a pendrive being affected with viruses are very high as they are being connected on different laptops, desktops , phablets etc. What if all the data stored in a usb is lost or not being visible due to a virus attack ?


We can scan the pendrives for malware detections and removals before using it by using many good Antivirus softwares available. But problem arises when we come to know that there are files in the pendrive, but we are not able to access them. When we click on the properties we can find that the disk usage sapce is utilised, but none of the files are seen.
