shortcut virus

Hi YogeshKhetrapal,

Just to verify, can you tell us when exactly did you get this virus and can you determine or recall where did you get this from? As a first troubleshooting step, we suggest that you try to schedule a scan using Windows Defender and see how it goes. Please
refer to this link for steps on how to do so. Take note that you should disable any third
party anti virus software first before running a Windows Defender scan.

If that doesn't help, I would also like to suggest downloading and running the Malicious Software Removal Tool to prevent malwares
here.

Let us know the outcome.
