Remove Shortcut Virus From Pen Drive & SD

Card
There are 2 methods you can use to remove this virus: using CMD or Software Tool. Before
beginning I highly recommend you to First Scan storage with your antivirus and then go
for below method. If your pen drive is bootable then it may change to normal.

Method 1 > Using command prompt

Open Command prompt as Administrator (Windows 7 or earlier: Windows key + R > Type
CMD & ENTER, Windows 8: Search for “CMD” > Right click to CMD and Select “Run as
Administrator” or right click overStart button and select “command prompt (Admin) “)

Connect Your USB storage (Pendrive/SD card) to your Computer.

Scan your storage with your antivirus program (Not compulsory but its effective) > If your
antivirus found virus then delete it.

Type in Command prompt : attrib -h -r -s /s /d <Your USB drive letter>:\*.* (See <Your
USB drive letter> from My computer and then type it For ex, if your drive letter is “D”
then the command is like: ” attrib -h -r -s /s /d D:\*.* “)

To know about this command Type ” attrib /? ” In CMD.

Now your Shortcut files again convert to normal files. Delete unknown files from your
storage aftercommand process completes. I highly recommend you to after removing
