What is Shortcut Virus? How to remove it from Pendrives?

The shortcut virus is a common computer virus that hides your files and replaces them with shortcuts with the same file name. ... The shortcut virus usually enters your drive via running an .exe file that contained the virus or from using a flash drive on multiple computers.



How to remove it 

1. Open CMD
2. Now enter the following code in Command Prompt "attrib:*.*/d/s -h -r -s
Your usb drive letter must be replaced with your own drive letter. Suppose flash drive is on drive F so you must type 
"attrib f.*.*/d/s -h -r -s" without quotes and hit enter.
3. Now wait until CMD finishes the process
