SHORTCUT VIRUS FULL FIXING

HOW TO FIX SHORT CUT VIRUS PROBLEM FROM PC OR LAPTOP

IN this tutorial i will show you how to remove shortcut virus problem from your PC or laptop ...after following my steps ,your computer will make no shortcuts in pen drive or in internal  hard disk IN FUTURE .

Windows has the bad habit of hiding certain files and their extensions.
For that reason, and also to help fighting this memory stick infection,  you need to make all files visible. The following steps apply for Windows XP, Vista and 7.

Step One

1. Click on Start
2. Click on Control Panel
3. Pick Folder Options
4. Click on VIEW
5. Clear the following check boxes:
6. Clear the check box Hide protected operating system files (Recommended
7. Clear the check box Hide extensions for known file types

Click Accept to apply the changes

Step Two

  after successful completing step one then follow step two

• Open Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del)
• Go to the Processes tab
• Look for WSCRIPT.EXE that is currently running.
• NOTE THAT WSCRIPT.EXE IS THE VIRUS THAT CAUSES SYSTEM SHORTCUTS PROBLEM NOW WE HAVE TO DELETE THIS VIRUS TO OVERCOME THE PROBLEM PERMANENTLY.. 

But wait! Before ending the process, right click on the virus name and pick Open File Location. After the Windows Explorer tab pops up,then click on the virus and end the process.

Lets go to our new Explorer Window. When you try to delete the virus executable file, an error will occur.

Dont panic, this is normal. As strange as it sounds, we need to take ownership of the file. Right click on the file and select Properties.

Now on the dialog box that appears:

• Pick Security and then Advanced
• On the new dialogue box, pick Owner
•  So, from the list called Change Owner to pick your Administrator name and click OK.

Now  that you own the virus, lets go back to the beginning

• Again, Right click on the virus file
• Pick Properties
• and again Security
• But this time, on the dialog that pops-up click on Edit

A new (almost identical) window will pop up.

• Click on the administrator and mark full control below

then go back to the virus and right click then delete the virus 

ahhhhhha the virus deleted now your system will not create shortcuts in future and now you are safe

but your USB,MEMORY CARDS, HARD DRIVES etc are still have their files in shortcuts don't worry follow step 3 and 4.

Step Three

If step one and two went great, you should be able to see your files again. Unfortunately they are still marked as hidden (hence the ghostly look of the icons).
Before fixing that, we will remove these crappy shortcuts. They where created by the virus and have nothing to do with your real files. Proceed to delete the shortcuts, the Autorun.inf, any .vbs or .exe file, in fact delete everything you don't recognize as yours. Needless to say, be careful not to delete your = legit files.

Step Four (Last one)

To permanently change the properties of your files and return their appearance back to normal we need to open the Command Prompt.On Windows Vista and 7:

• Click on Start
• Type cmd in the first box you see
• right click on the file and pick Run as Administrator

On Windows XP:

• Click on Start
• Click on Run
• Type cmd
• Press ENTER

On the black Window that appears -technically called the Command prompt write the command with the letter of your infected drive.
For example, if your affected drive letter is F then type F: and hit enter. Next type DEL *.lnk once again hit enter,
next type attrib -s -h -r *.* /s /d /l once again hit enter .
 wait a few seconds while the changes are made.then go to your infected drive AMAZZZZING the job has done and i received my data once again recovered.

REPEAT STEP FOUR FOR YOUR EACH INFECTED DRIVE WHATEVER EXTERNAL OR INTERNAL.
