When you find 'em again, right click on them, select properties, and untick
the hidden attribute. Else check to see if their containing folder is set to
be hidden. If still no luck then, well, show 'em all?

In Windows Explorer, go to Tools > Folder Options > View. Click the
option for "Show hidden files and folders".

While you're there, if the box for "Hide extensions for known file
types" is checked, it's a good idea to uncheck it. Microsoft thought
it would make the file list less cluttered, but it gives viruses a
good way to hide themselves.
