This easy way
Follow the steps below to remove shortcut virus using command prompt (CMD):
- Run Command prompt as Administrator. (Windows key + R > Type CMD
& press ENTER, or search CMD > Right click to CMD and Select “Run
as Administrator” or right click over Start button and select command prompt (Admin))
- Connect your infected USB storage (Pen drive, SD card, etc.) with your Computer.
- Scan USB with an antivirus program (Not compulsory but its
effective) and if the antivirus found some virus or threats, so delete
it.
- Type the following command in Command prompt: attrib -h -r -s /s /d X:\*.*, (Where, X is the USB drive letter) and press Enter. (For example: If your drive letter is D, then the command is attrib -h -r -s /s /d D:\*.*)
- Copy all data from USB flash drive to your computer.
- Format the USB drive.
- And, copy all data back to the USB flash drive.
Now all Shortcut files are fixed and working as normal files. The
reason why I suggest you to format the USB is because there was some
unknown files automatically generate as you use the command. Know more
about Attrib command.
