you have a virus.. do this
I did some research and came to know that these files are hidden by Trojan Viruses within registry values.

This behavior can be changed using Command Prompt. Let’s see how it works.

Open Run (Win+R) and type cmd and press Enter.




A command Prompt will appear, type cd\ and hit enter.. This command will let the command applicable to Root directories and sub folders also.



Not type I: and Enter {Note: Type your driver letter in the place of I. (ex H, G.. etc}



Type dir/ah and Enter. This Command useful to identify the directories effected by the viruses.





Now type attrib –h –s /s /d and hit Enter [attrib –h{space}-s{space}/s{space}/d]

After a few seconds you can see your driver letter again this means the process is completed.



.
then run a virus check

Genius Louis!!! DOS for dummies was perfect for me :) 
I can now see all my files. However, no viruses were detected and i can still see the _[$]_TESTFILE_[$]_
I have backed everything, so i think i will reformat the card.

thanks for your help
