When i inserted my pen drive, all the files in the pen drive have changed to shortcuts and suddenly there is a presence of windows batch file . When i scan my pen drive, all the shortcut viruses it detected and i have removed it. But the windows batch file is unable to detect neither remove by the antivirus software and all the files in my pen drive are invisible. Can anyone help me solve it? message edited by Malar
Try removing the file by using Linux instead of Windows.
Just delete the file. It's recommended to do so after you fix the virus infection on the computer.
Try this: Open CMD (command prompt). [Go to Run > type CMD > Hit enter]
Type the name of your pen drive and a colon after it and hit enter. [Example:- e:]
Now type:
attrib -h -r -s /s /d e:\*.*
(Replace e: with the drive name of your pen drive)Hopefully your files will then return.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
