SHORTCUT VIRUS

Is this about the shortcut virus, everything converts to shortcuts, all files and folders on pen drive converts to shortcuts?

If so, this might work to remove it from the pen drive,

1. Open the command prompt,
   

Press Windows+R to open " Run " box. Type " cmd " and then click " OK " to open

1. Open My Computer and find the drive letter of your removable drive.
   

(Assumption: my drive letter is H)

1. In the Command Prompt, type " H:\ " and hit Enter.
   

(Replace H with your removable drive letter.)

1. Type " attrib –s –h –r /s /d *.* " and Hit Enter.
   

or, download and run shortutvirusremover, which does the same thing, remove the shortcut virus from pen drives.

To remove shortcut virus from a PC, I recommend using a bootable virus scanner. Normally it's called antivirus rescue disk, and here you can find a list of them.
