I had a windows recovery virus and now everything in the c drive is hidden

Try going to this link. There are several tips on this very subject.

Please describe the actual steps you took to remove the virus and which 'tools' you used.

There are very specific steps you need to take - and you need to use the tools in the right order.

Please read through my EE Article for some basic information.

The program "Rogue Killer" by EE Expert "Tigzy" has Menu Options that can resolve this for you.

Also please note -
The instructions given at http://www.techvts.com/windows-recovery-virus-removal  are NOT adequate to address this problem.

All they say are to run either SuperAntiSpyware or Malwarebytes.

That is NOT enough to fully repair this problem.
You need to run one of the automated programs that will "unhide" your files and folders and you need a rogue process stopper to allow the scans to work properly.

Apparently it is not completely gone as of yet.  I ran malwarebytes and avast, turned off system restore.  Had a funny feeling it wasn't going to be that easy.  I've seen this one before and had to end up reformatting.  Which of your links do you recommend for this particularly evil virus?

Actually, the link posted by SSharma is exactly right.
It has all of the details that you need - and will only take about 10-15 minutes (plus the MBAM scan - which will be another 30-45 minutes).
