STEPS TO REMOVE SHORTCUT VIRUS USING WINRAR:

1. Open WinRAR application. (If you don’t have it installed, download it from here)
2. From inside WinRAR interface, move on to your infected drive. Inside it, you’ll find all your files safe and clearly visible.
3. Select them all, right click-> Add Files to Archive and choose a name like USB Drive Backup.rar (or anything you like). With this, you’ve created an archive of all the files inside the infected drive.
4. Open My Computer -> open your infected drive. You’ll find your created archive there. Right click on it -> Cut. Paste it somewhere safe in your hard disk drive.
5. Open My Computer, Right-click on your infected drive-> Format. Choose Quick Format option and Start. After the format is over, just extract the backed up .rar file back into the removable drive.
