Today I will teach you how to remove shortcut virus from
your external drive or flash drive, as we all know that whenever we are caught
with the virus it frustrated us to even format our drive when it turn all our files to shortcut but now in this
tutorial I will teach you how to overcome this problem and have your files up
and running well without formatting and drive.
In case you might be wondering what could cause the virus?
The virus is a virtual basic script that moves from the very affected drive
into any other system which it is inserted (FEAR NOT IF YOU HAVE ANY LATEST ANTI
VIRUS). If you check your task manager as the you will see it running and you
can only remove it with any latest antivirus from 2014 e.g. AVAST! 2014 upward.
Firstly let us stop the script to stop affecting our system.

·        
scroll to the bottom of the page and you will
see something like wscript.exe
·        
then select and right click then click end task
