Hi everyone.. I am somewhat a newbie, got a PSP v1.5 system last week... have spent the last couple of days getting familar with the different iso loaders and techniques for homebrew apps like emulators.
Unfortunately I just noticed something wierd taking place on my PC after starting to work with my PSP. Any file or folder that begins with an underscore "_" instantly makes the file or folder "hidden from Windows API" and thus unreadable to me.
What is even worse is that I can't even delete folders relating to my PSP, as the GAME folder in the PSP folder ususally has a folder starting with the name prefix "__SCE__..." and because of that, it becomes hidden and I can't access it, thus I can't delete the parent folder. It is also wierd as the hidden files or folder I find can only be viewed with special utilities like "Active@ File Recovery for Windows" by LSoft. The attributes for these files and/or folders are all clean (no hidden option is selected) and the Explorer is set to view all hidden and system folders. I even looked into RegEdit to make ssure the SuperHidden option is set to "1" value for showing the hidden system files.
I have installed no software, so I am assuming I had a rootkit installed onto my system by my PSP.. somehow? I found a couple other people talking about this happening to them, but nothing in detail to figure out my situation. I have used the utility "RootKitRevealer" and it is definitely showing signs of an infection. HOW is this possible with my PSP???
Any advice on how to install and / or avoid how to get it again??
