How To Remove Shortcut Virus Using CMD
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.
- Click the windows button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt [Run command prompt with admin rights]
- 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:\*.* [These codes will show up the hidden files in your USB Pen Drive or memory card]
- 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! ^__^
But when your Virus Guard deleted the VIRUS on your USB Pen Drive or Memory Card and your FILES are HIDDEN but not deleted so you don't need to follow all the Steps above Just:
- Click the windows button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt [Run as admin]
- Type attrib -h -r -s /s /d e:\*.*
- Replace e with your drive letter.
- And the press a gentle Enter
NOTE : Both shortcut folder or files and the folder or files without shortcut will show, so just delete the folder or files that have a shortcut, that's all! ^__^
