I also had the similar trouble, which occur because of the program CIEUHU.EXE. It mainly alter each and every one folders on my external drive to shortcuts, however the drive at a standstill showed that it had information. The solution for this is was comparatively simple for me furthermore I expect it works for you.
1. In the folder option select VIEW/ Show hidden files and folders as well as remove the tick mark from Hide protected operating system files after that click APPLY.
2. After that Go to your external media and it be supposed to display you each and every one your folders hidden counting the virus- Remove the virus as well as all the shortcut folders that have no records in them.
3. Now create a new folder plus copy all the data from hidden folders into them. After transferring data from hidden folders delete them.
4. Press ctrl+alt+del this will open task manager- Discover the applications/ program which are still running which will contain the similar name as the one you presently deleted from drive. Right click on it and select open file location and delete it!
5. 1. In the folder option unselect VIEW/ Show hidden files and folders as well as place the tick mark from Hide protected operating system files after that click APPLY.
6. Reboot the system
This worked for me and I expect it works for you. Good Luck
