Virus Attack. Backup drive reads empty while files are not wiped

Question

I had a virus attack which is preventing me from accessing all my data on both the computer and my backup drive. When I connect the drive, it still shows as having the files on it but when I open the drive it reads as empty. Can you please help with a solution.

Here's a canonical reference on what to do if computer is infected by a virus or a malware — Sathyajith Bhat, May 03 '11 at 05:10

You have to clean your machine first. Virus is hiding files. Try Trend Micro's Housecall
