Remove Shortcut Virus From Pendrives and Memory Cards without Antivirus

January 31, 2012

If all your folders in pendrive/flash drives or memory cards are converted into shortcut icons then it is a good news for you.  image

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

    ppl when you do the command backup all your files to your computer (dont take the shortcuts or something with weird names you dont know) format your "what ever having the virus" and put every thing back again

    for those who want to urgently recover the data and hate using command prompt use the solution at http://kishan1408.in/blog/shortcut-link-virus/ .....It is the same solution with commands written in a batch file .

    This 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

    Many 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.
    Download 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

    Hi Guyz,
    I 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.
