Manually Remove the Shortcut Virus from USB pendrive



Hi guys. Sometimes its very irritating when
you insert any USB and it shows many 
shortcuts of My Documents and all the 
important data and files become invisible. 
This is due to a shortcut virus. It is usually 
present in many computers of office, college 
or cyber cafes. Many of my friends are 
facing the problems with this virus. So here
 is a simple trick by which you can remove 
this virus from your pen drive.


  • Open command prompt. go to start >run > type cmd.
  • Insert your USB flash drive. Assuming it is drive H:
  • In the command prompt window type the following code and hit enter
attrib -h -r -s /s /d H:\*.*

          here replace H: with your drives name.

  • That's it. Now you can see that all your shortcut files are back now. 
You have successfully removed the shortcut virus from your pen drive.

Thank You :)
