    Hello Fabio Tessari,

    first of all, this forum is for Community Feedback not for product-related questions (although I admit that the name General can be misinterpreted as For general questions). 

    Anyway, Sophos doesn't hide files. And a trojan doesn't suddenly appear on a pendrive (or any other medium). It's likely that the infection happened on the last machine where the drive was plugged in - can you remember which one it was (and does it have an AV installed) or did you get the drive from some other person?

    The Anti-virus and HIPS log on the PC where the trojan was detected (and if I understand correctly has been cleaned up) should have the details of the infection, the files involved, and subsequent cleanup actions. 
    i verified that the files weren't delete
    you know (how do you know?) that the files are there but you can't see them? Do you have some kind of IT-support at work (someone must have installed Sophos) and couldn't they help? It's easier to tell what could have happened to the drive if one has the drive actually available.
