Hej!
I have used a friend's USB stick and since then whenever I open a USB stick it only shows shortcuts...I guess I have a similar issue like this thread: http://195.74.76.34/index.php?topic=144424.0
I have already tried to get rid of the shortcut virus...but I am not sure whether I was successful. Attached is my MBAM and OTL log. Thank you so much for your help!!!

Hi,
Do not use your flash, until we clean your system first.
Please download Anti-VBSVBE (http://www.mcshield.net/download/tools/Anti-VBSVBE/) 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.
- Double click to run the tool and wait until it finishes.
- It will make a log named Anti-VBSVBE.txt. Please attach it to your reply.
=====================================================
Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/farbar-recovery-scan-tool/) by Farbar and save it to your desktop.

e.g. flash drives (thumb/pen drives, USB sticks), external HDDs, MP3/MP4 players, digital cameras,
memory cards (SD cards, Sony Memory Stick, MultiMedia Cards etc.), some mobile phones, some GPS navigation devices etc.

How is the situation now?

Well, if I open my USB sticks now, I can access all folders:) does this mean the virus is removed? thanks!

Yes, we're done :)
Keep using MCShield for future protection.
• The following will implement some post-cleanup procedures:
=> Please download DelFix (http://general-changelog-team.fr/fr/downloads/finish/20-outils-de-xplode/9-delfix) by Xplode to your Desktop.
Run the tool and check the following boxes below;

Click Run button and wait a few seconds for the programme completes his work.
At this point all the tools we used here should be gone. Tool will create an report for you (C:\DelFix.txt)
The tool will also record healthy state of registry and make a backup using ERUNT program in %windir%\ERUNT\DelFix
Tool deletes old system restore points and create a fresh system restore point after cleaning.
