I get that, but I am asking how is that achieved? How can malware create a hidden folder that I cannot see? What makes that hidden folder different than a hidden folder I created? Is it some attribute that the folder had?

The virus was detected and removed by Windows Defender. I did also run a MBam scan and a Hitman Pro scan. I am just wondering why, as the Admin of the computer, this folder was hidden from me even when hidden folders option was enabled.

I ran into some malware that created a hidden folder under my users/account/AppData/Roaming/hiddenfolder I enabled the option to view hidden files & folders but I still cannot see this folder. I can browse to it, if I manually type it in, and see all the files inside, but in the Roaming folder...
