Urgent Help; Solution To USB Shortcut Virus by mahkanjuh(op): 9:33pm On May 01, 2019
Please, good evening house, I copied something from a photo studio, I inserted the flash drive into my system, and I discover I already picked USB shortcut virus that turns everything into shortcut
Any flash or external drive I connect with the system, everything in it automatically becomes virus
I have tried some of the things I saw online like the use of the command prompt amidst other, still the virus (USB virus shortcut) remains there.
BTW, I have used smadav, it will scan it, says it has quarantine it, so and behold if put a new flash or something, all will become shortcut immediately.
Please help me
