Hi, Today I am going to brief you about How to remove shortcut Virus/Trojan from
Computer. As our computer
gets affected with virus we get stuck at some point and can’t proceed further
thus we need to stop or remove such activities, our today’s article will
definitely help you to remove shortcut viruses from computer. Usually we use windows and we face the problem of
viruses/Trojan and malware’s because of window’s open structure and direct
execution of .exe so we strongly need to fix this issue.
1.
a. Open the Command Prompt. You can find it under "Accessories"
or just search for "CMD" on search bar of your Windows computer.
b. Find out in what drive of your computer the virus/shortcut
is located. Go to My Computer
(for Windows 7 or below) or This PC; you'll notice the C, D, E, etc drives.
c. Go to CMD and type in the
commands .For example, the virus is located in
"F" drive, then just type attrib-h-r-s / s / df: \ *. *. The F beside
the D is your drive; simply change it to where drive the virus is located.
-h: to unhide all files on drive W
-r: create the files in drive W is free of
read-only attribute.
-s: making all files on drive W to be not part
of the system again, so easy in the clear
f: w drive
*. *: All files ending in
d. Press
Enter. The
bigger the files, the longer the processing takes.
Wait until you see "C\: Users...” again.
It means that drive will unhide all the folders in your drive .e. Check your drive again. The folders are now retrieved together with the shortcut
viruses.
Remove unnecessary files, the shortcut files
that are not supposed to be there.
You might find autorun.inf or desktop.ini;
simply delete them.
