Shortcut virus
« on: March 06, 2014, 10:58:44 PM »
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 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 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.


  • Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Under Optional Scan ensure "List BCD" and "Driver MD5" are ticked.
  • Press Scan button.
  • It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your reply.
  • The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.

Yes, we're done :)

Keep using MCShield for future protection.



The following will implement some post-cleanup procedures:

=> Please download DelFix by Xplode to your Desktop.

Run the tool and check the following boxes below;
Remove disinfection tools
Create registry backup
Purge System Restore

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.
