Remove shortcut virus from your pen drive

STEPS:-

  1. First plug in your virus infected pen drive in the USB port of your computer or laptop.
  2. Press ‘Windows’ key plus the ‘R’ key (Another option is to click on the ‘Start’ menu using the mouse and select the Run option). 
  3. Open the run box in which you need to type in the word ‘cmd’ (without spaces and single quotes).
  4. Press ‘Enter’. This opens a command prompt in which you need to open your drive by typing in a certain command. Now, for example, if your drive letter is ‘g:’ (without single quotes), then you need to type ‘attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.*’.
  5. After typing in your drive letter press ‘Enter’. The drive letter can be known by opening ‘My Computer’ and checking the pen drive icon. After this wait a few seconds and then open and check your drive, your folders. Your folders will have recovered by now and you can easily access them.
