How to remove Shortcut Virus?

 
        We use Pendrives often and when we plug in our pen drive, memory cards or even mobile phone through USB cable into our windows PC USB port sometimes we are annoyed to see our files changed into shortcut files, even this shortcut virus affects PC Hard disks.


What is Shortcut Virus?
        I have seen this problem in PC having antivirus too, when your Pen drive, PC, Hard Disk, Memory cards or mobile phone got infected by some anonymous malware, they change your files into shortcuts with the original folder icons.

Just follow the below given steps to remove, delete, wipe out or whatever the shortcut virus from your pen drive, memory cards or even mobile phone and recover back your files. 

                                         

 Follow the below Steps:

• Go to Start -> Run -> cmd.
• Go to your pen drive, memory cards or mobile phone directory.
• Type del *.lnk (to delete all link files in the directory)
• Type attrib -h -r -s /s /d e:\*.*
• Replace e with your drive letter.
• And then press a gentle Enter.

Note : After when you got your files, just copy your files somewhere in your PC and format your drive and then copy again your files to the drive. Only then your shortcut virus will get off from your PC.
