Title: Every time I plug in my USB to my laptop, files become shortcuts
Post by: dann on November 22, 2013, 07:08:11 AM
I was transferring files from my other laptop this week and when I plugged in my USB to another computer, all my files changed into shortcuts! So I uploaded them to Dropbox so I have a backup but I plugged in my USB again and it did the same thing. I don't know how to proceed, since my computer doesn't detect any viruses or malware. Thank you! :(

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/farbar-recovery-scan-tool/) ((http://www.mcshield.net/personal/magna86/Images/FRST_canned.png)) by Farbar and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatibale with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them.
Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

Hi, I can't seem to run zoek.exe. After double clicking it, the administrator dialog box shows up and when I click Yes to run it, the loading circle beside the mouse cursor appears and disappears after around 5 seconds, and I waited for 5 minutes and the program still hasn't ran. Here is the log for FRST though.
