Remove Shortcut Virus From Pendrives and Memory Cards without Antivirus
If all your folders in pendrive/flash drives or memory cards are converted into shortcut icons then it is a good news for you.
Now I’m going to tell you how to remove this virus without using any antivirus software. If you have not formatted your flash drive then you can solve this problem.
Most of the people come across this type of issues with their working environment. So for solving it follow the steps given below:
Steps are very easy
First of all Click on Start >> Run >> and type cmd and click on OK.
Here I assume your pen drive letter as G:
Enter this command.
attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.*
You can copy the above command >> Right click in the Command Prompt and
paste it.
Note : Don't forget to replace the letter g with your pen drive letter.
Now press Enter
That’s it!
Now you can check for your files and folder in Pen Drive.
TIP: You can open Run Command using your ketboard shortcut key combination. Press Ctrl + R
thanks :)

ReplyDeletethanks..........
ReplyDelete1 million thank
ReplyDeleteIt appear immediatly after few seconds.
ReplyDeletedidnt work,it appears again.
ReplyDeleteThis method works. But the easiest method to completely remove the shortcut virus is to use USB fix . Just search for it over the internet or follow this tutorial - http://www.superpctricks.com/2014/08/remove-shortcut-virus-from-usb-flash-drive-fix.html
ReplyDeleteTHANKS
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot but one thing i need to know..can you explain the meaning of the command
ReplyDeleteMany times typing this code is very difficult. A single mistake gives a n error result. However I found a amazing solution. Shortcut Virus Remover. A small application with free download. Just a double click is only required to remove the virus.
ReplyDeleteDownload it from www.shortcutvirusremover.com for free.
Also USBFIX software helps. Check out http://bit.ly/1rz22mh for info on removing shortcut virus using CMD or USBFIX
ReplyDeleteHi Guyz,
ReplyDeleteI was just hoping to share this information with you that a program called Flash Rescue v4.3 can do all the work for you. Plus it is automatic.
This link to download Flash Rescue v4.3 is available at http://flashrescue.atwebpages.com or search through google and also available at software informers.
