Re: Program files folder is blank

Try this. Right-click on the below link and click "Save As" or "Save Target As" and save the file with the default file name (by default, file name will be smitfraud.reg).
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/reg/smitfraud.reg

Next, double-click on the smitfraud.reg file, and choose "Yes" to merge the file to registry.

Restart the PC, and check whether the contents of Program Files are displayed or not.
