It's very, very easy to accidentally move folders if your finger happens to click the mouse button as you're moving the mouse pointer past a folder in Windows Explorer. That can cause the entire folder to be moved inside another folder - the result is that it seems to have disappeared because it's no longer where you're expecting to see it.
I'd try doing a search for the folder name to see if Windows can find it.

I'll also suggest first of all try some powerful anti-virus programs to clean the virus. If the files are hidden, it will become visible again(meanwhile check your visibility settings). If the files are deleted by the virus, you can rely on some file recovery programs to recover the deleted files. You may learn more from this article,
