How to remove shortcut virus present in external hard ?

Solution for shortcut virus:


My external hard drive was full of virus,using my antivirus I thought I deleted all files. Next day when I

saw there are all shortcuts instd of files. I couldn't format it because there are important files in it. My

friend gave me advice to take backup and restore files after formatting the hard . But the size of

backup was like 400 GB. I didn't have that much space in my laptop. Then I srched on net and found

out this method. Don't worry, use this method and solve the shortcut virus problem in your system.


Steps:

1.Click on the below link and download the file "AutorunExterminator"


click here
2. Now extract the file and run it. Connect your hard which is affected with shortcut virus.

This will remove the "autorun.inf" files from your External hard drive and also fromthe drives.

What is the use?

The shortcut virus multiplies by using the defaultauto-runfture present in the system and the

hard .So when you remove those, the virus cannot multiply. Hence the virus will be stopped.

Now we have toeliminate the virus which stopped its multipliion. To do this use the

following method.

3.Now run the command prompt using "cmd" word as srch word in 7/ 8 srch.

or open run and type "cmd" word. Using any one of the method command prompt window will run.


4. Let me assume that your hard is mounted as letter "F:"

In the command prompt enter the command,

attrib -h -r -s /s /d f:\*.*

Note : Replace the letter f with your External hard drive letter.



Now check for your files in External Drive and you will notice that all your shortcut files are converted to

normal files and some shortcut files. Now check for the shortcut files and delete them, this is because

theshortcut files are left without deletion after the rl files are recovered.

If you find that your hard is not recovered rept this steps untill the files are recovered.

5. Afterwards download good antivirus like avast,avg or eset and scan your hard and delete

all virusespresent in hard .

That's all your hard is free from shortcut virus.........
