recovering from infection

I got my computer infected with a trojan. I ran a scan of the system and got all the infected files removed. But some folders in my system including windows, are now in the hidden state. I am now able to go to those folder directly and have to type their path in the address bar. If I try to change their hidden state the check box is dim. So can I change the hidden state of those folders.
Thanks.
