Remove shortcut virus in one click
Shortcut virus- one of the most common virus that can be found on almost every pc in the world. When it was formed, it spread like a viral all over the world.Now questions would be arriving in many minds, specially those who don't know about this, that
What is Shortcut virus?
It is a type of worm which is generally named autorun.inf.
How does it work?
It uses an autorun vulnerability for working. It automatically gets executed when you insert your pendrive into your pc. Then it makes all your files into shortcuts. After that the biggest problem arises, you see that you cannot copy any of your files from your pendrive to your pc because they had been turned to shortcuts.
Now I will share with you a simple trick to remove shortcut virus from your pendrives with a Single Click. Just follow these simple steps:
What are we going to do here?
We are going to make a Windows Batch file or a .bat file, which after executing will remove the shortcut virus from your pendrive for once and you will be able to copy any of your files from your pendrive. We will not use any Virus Remover Tool to do this.
Step 1.
Open Notepad by Right- Clicking on your desktop, then navigating to New option and clicking on Text document.
Step 2.
A new window will open. Type the following command in Notepad:
attrib -H -S /S /D /L

Step 3.
Save that file as remove shortcut.bat (you can type anything in place of remove shortcut but the .bat extension should remain the same).
Step 4.
Now insert your pendrive and copy that remove shortcut file to it.
Step 5.
Open that file and wait for 1-2 seconds and you will see that all your original files and folders have come out of shortcut and can be copied easily to your pc.
You need not make that .bat file every time, just save that file to your hard-disk and copy it to your pendrive to remove the virus and get your files.
Another use of this .bat file
You can also copy that file to any of your folder in your hard-disk and you'll be able to see all hidden files in that folder, including protected-system files.
Since 5 months, I have tried this trick more than 100 times in my pc and also in my friends' pc and THIS HAS WORKED EVERY TIME. So do not waste time, go and retrieve your original files......
