This will replicate your 渘les and folders, hide and replace it with shortcuts.exe. This is a combination of Trojan and Worm. The bad thing about this, it will leave you no options but to click it in order to open your 渘les and folders. Then after executing it, the virus starts to duplicate itself and install malicious software that monitors your computing habit and worst, steal your important data and credit card information.
FLASH DRIVE SHORTCUT VIRUS
This is purely Trojan; it consolidates every 渘le in your portable devices and put it into one hidden folder. Then, it creates a Flash Disk shortcut.exe. Like the 渘le and a folder shortcut virus, it will give you no choices but to click it to see your 渘les. Once executed, it installs malicious applications that spy your computing routine and most probably steal your 渘nancial records if not detected.
SHORTCUT VIRUS FIRST AIDE Unfortunately, as what I have said earlier, not all antivirus can detect this type of virus. So, the best thing you can do, is to https://www.techchore.com/flashdriveshortcutvirusandtwo2methodstogetridofit/

Open your Flash Drive and Hard Disk by right-clicking it, then click explore or type its drive letter in the windows address bar to prevent any script from running.
Follow the instruction here how to unhide Files hidden by the virus, to see the real 渘les which are hidden by shortcut virus and to avoid executing it. The above steps are designed to prevent shortcut virus from infecting your computer. It will also help you distinguish the real 渘le from the virus-made 渘les. As what I have said earlier, even prominent antivirus failed to catch shortcut virus. Nonetheless, I will be sharing you 3 methods to remove it, follow the guide below;
HOW TO REMOVE SHORTCUT VIRUS USING SHORTCUT VIRUS REMOVER TOOLS – METHOD 1? these two tools, namely: Trojorm Removal Tool and Shortcut virus 渘xfolder

So, if you are done editing, save it. Now double click the vbs 渘le or open it via right-click, choose “Windows Based Script Host”. . .after running the script, shortcut virus must be gone and your 渘les are now visible.
HOW TO REMOVE SHORTCUT VIRUS USING COMMAND PROMPT/CMD? – METHOD 2 You should proceed this method if the 渘rst one doesn’t work. This involves a “command prompt”. Now click “start“, “run“, “type https://www.techchore.com/flashdriveshortcutvirusandtwo2methodstogetridofit/

Please take note the f: after the attrib, change it with your 咔ꪪash disk drive letter; if your 咔ꪪash drive, drive letter is e: then change it with e:.
HOW TO REMOVE SHORTCUT VIRUS FROM REGISTRY? Please take note that this guide is for advance s only. I will not be liable of whatever consequences that may take place after following this guide on how to remove shortcut virus via Registry. I am not trying to frighten you but one mistake may a�ect your PC’s normal operation.
Press the windows key + R, type “regedit” to enter the registry. Navigate through HKEY_CURRENT_ / Software / Microsoft / Windows / CurrentVersion / Run. Normally, you shouldn’t see any key except the default as you can see in the image below. Any key that is unusual such as WXCKYz, OUzzckky and other that ends with VBS, INI, LNK and EXE extension are safe to delete. However, this is a case to case basis, do this in your own discretion. Besides you are the only one who knows what software you install in your computer.

Press the windows key + R again, type “mscon渘g” click “OK“, in “Startup” tab uncheck everything except your antivirus. Click “OK” and “Restart now”.
SHORTCUT VIRUS REMOVER TOOLS AND COMMAND PROMPT ACCESS DENIED PROBLEM Shortcut virus remover and CMD attrib command are two best methods of removing shortcut virus ill-e�ects. However, in some occasion using these methods returns an access denied error. This problem is common on hard disk that uses NTFS this is rare on Flash drives (FAT & FAT32). Solutions:
1. In 渘xfolder, see to it that you change the drive according to your Flash drive and hard disk drive letter. 2. In the command prompt, make sure that you typed the command correctly including the spaces. What if you did everything right, from changing drive letter and typing the attrib command accurately as it is and still receive the access denied error?
Run chkdsk command using CMD. If you don’t know how to do it? Please visit this guide Windows detected a hard disk problem.

Luie John Malimit There’s other thing too. MANUAL CLEANING is the best without the need of the software.
REMOVE A LINK VIRUS IN YOUR PC TO STOP IT SPREAD OTHER USB DRIVES For Windows 8 and above: First, open your Task Manager and go to your Startup tab then you will 渘nd a Visual Basic Script Host process with a random unreadable name then its you’re target. Disable it and then go to your Processes tab and select explorer.exe and then click End Process. You will notice something bad and that is good, don’t panic it was just normal. Hit the Windows icon together with R and type cmd and press Enter. Type “shutdown -r” without quotes and your pc will restart. After restart open Windows Explorer by hitting the Windows Icon and E. Hit the View tab and check “Hidden item”. Go to your Local Disk then s then Your name then go to appdata then Roaming then 渘nd an unusual, random, unreadable folder name and delete it. Once you deleted it YOU’RE GOOD TO GO!! Note: If at the Task Manager you didn’t 渘nd an unusual, random, unreadable Visual Basic Script Host then your PC is safe, for now. Thanks. Be Safe. Reply

Angelica Hi! In Windows 10, I can’t 渘nd the explore option when I rightclick the external hard drive. Is it the same with “open in new window”? Also, does a smartphone prone to this kind of virus as well? I having a shortcut key of my phone in my laptop before though I didn’t creating that. Should I perform the above procedures for my phone? Reply
I.C Tiempo
Hello Angelica, indeed in Windows 10 there is no
“explore” option. So you just need to type the drive letter of your drive followed by a colon at the address bar (F:). Regarding smartphone, it can be infected by shortcut virus if you connect it on infected PC’s and if the SD card you use on your phone is infected. However, it seems that the e�ect of shortcut virus on android isn’t signi渘cant. I don’t recommend you to perform the guides above on your smartphone, unless you know what you are doing. For general public, I don’t recommend this on smartphone, seek the help of your friend that has knowledge about computing. Reply

Hi Ben, your computer is extremely infected with

Please take note, you have to uninstall Avira. You will be using Eset Nod32 trial, after the full scan you can remove it and re-install your Avira. Reply

I encountered the same problem regarding the shortcut virus. However as i did the steps and launched the smadav program, after clicking on “渘x” for the heuristic 渘les it said it found.. when i opened my usb drive, all sorts of folders came up but they were in a di�erent label (?) i tried clicking on them but it says the 渘le is not accessible because the directory name or volume label
syntax is incorrect. Is there anything I could do to still recover my 渘les at this rate? Reply

Hello cha, just don’t format your 咔ꪪash drive. Can

Tina Hi there. Thanks for the tutorial on removing shortcut virus from 咔ꪪash drive. I used both the trojorm removal tool and the 渘xfolder. I also used the HFV 渘le. That didn’t 渘x it. All that happens is that another un-named folder appears on the 咔ꪪash drive. Double click on that and another folder appears called ‘recovered’ which then holds all the 渘les… Reply

Hello Tina, thanks for the comment. If you saw an
unnamed folder and recovered your 渘les, it means that this tutorial works for you.The trojorm removal tool is designed to disinfect shortcut virus and Fixfolder to recover or repair the damage that shortcut virus done to your 渘les. HFV also works the same way if the latter tools won’t work. Reply

Hello Igfados, you can install SmadAV antivirus,

With regard to your question, I say “NO”, shortcut virus is infecting the whole world not just in Indonesia, the origin of shortcut virus is unknown. The SmadAV antivirus is made in Indonesia. Reply
Amr Thank you for your advice.

If you do this, you will see all your 渘les inside the “.trashes” folder. Simply then, copy all of them to your computer hard disk but not in your C (system) partition, then FORMAT the 咔ꪪash/external drive and the computer C (system) partition, and install a new windows operating system on your C drive and your nightmare is over.

Hi AMR, I appreciate your input but reformatting your system partition should be done as last

Bikash I’m facing similar problem. I could remove the virus from my pen drive using the code and running it from command prompt. However, the minute I open the drive all the 渘les turn into shortcuts. Looks like my pc is the source of this virus. What do i do to get rid of them from my pc?? please help. I’ve used windows defender (windows 8) to scan my pc multiple times but the problem persists. it doesn’t even detect the virus or may be i’m missing something. Thank you for your help in advance. Reply
I.C. Tiempo
Hello Bikash, I would recommend you to SmadAV antivirus and use it to scan your computer, all your hard drive partitions (c:, d: and more). You can also try the HFV Shortcut virus remover (see the link above) or Eset Nod32
Antivirus (trial). Then to prevent shortcut virus, keep either SmadAV antivirus or HFV in your PC. Reply

Hi Aser, the most e�ective way to remove shortcut

However, I have had an experience removing shortcuts from laptops/usb’s (was in 2009, 渘ve years gone and can’t recall the procedure)… all I can is by playing around with start up programs and autoplay options in the control pannel. This method I’ve used was so simple and I urgently wish if someone knows this method would help me out… Finally to the author of this post, if there is another way of removing shotcuts from laptops and etc…apart from the two methods you’ve outlines then there’s the way out I’m struggling to 渘nd out.

open it through notpad? Reply
I.C Tiempo
Hello Simon, you did what is right in removing Shortcut Virus. You should run 渘x Folder inside your 咔ꪪash drive and follow the instruction above carefully. If shortcut virus keeps coming back, the big tendency is your PC is infected by it. To solve that issue, kindly free antivirus, just click antivirus category at the sidebar, I recommend Avira or Avast, it with Malwarebytes 2.0.1 (@ anti-malware category). Install and update Antivirus & Malwarebytes, Then scan all your drive partitions, a boot scan may be recommended in case of extreme PC shortcut virus infection. Afterwards, retry the methods above, you can manually remove the shortcut 渘les or remove it via Shortcut Virus Remover, https://www.techchore.com/2014/05/shortcut-virusremover.html Reply

Shortcut virus, mainly a�ect drive c: but it can also infect other drive partitions. Just a tip, after installing your windows, simply install antivirus and free malwarebytes 渘rst, update it before opening any 渘les, folder or any drive partition to
prevent any malicious script left-over from running. Reply
Hamza Arshad
how to remove it from mypc or does it a�ect pc speed.. Reply
I.C Tiempo
Hello Hamza Arshad, as what I have said Shortcut Virus has two variations. If you are infected by the “Shortcut Flashdisk Virus”, you don’t have to worry because the method 2 above will erase it. However, if you are infected by the “Files and folder Shortcut Virus”, still the method two will help you unhide your original 渘les. But you have to remove those Shortcut Virus manually, by deleting it one by one or install a good Antivirus to delete it all automatically. I am personally using NOD32 but avira is a good alternative, just check my posts on free Antivirus. With regard to your question if shortcut virus slows your pc? In my experience the “Flash disk Shortcut Virus” doesn’t a�ect your pc’s performance but the “Files and folder shortcut virus” does slows your computer, since it duplicate itself and eats your your hard drive storage space.
