Strange characters in a directory created in a file-hiding program?

Hi I have a problem with a file-hiding program, it's called Folder Lock and what it does it it stores your files and can even encrpyt them and hide them quite well.

It's worked for a while, but now I've run into a problem - all the files disappeared, but the Locker folder still appears to contain the correct amount of data in it even though there's nothing in it. I managed to get a slight glimpse of where it was, and I managed to print screen what it looks like- but the characters of the folder are unlike anything I've ever seen before. Any help?

Here's the print screen - http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f182/Yuen47/help.jpg

Thanks a lot!

It could be that the file system is corrupt.
You could try a error check on the drive.

Hmm I just gave the drive a scan and it turns out no errors were found. Thanks for the quick reply though.

So anyone else have any ideas please?

Thanks

It could be that the program was corrupted somehow, or may be virus or spyware.

You could run the relevant scans just to make sure.
