                    Hello,  
Try this 1
The shortcut files doesn't contain any information. All your files will be in hidden
and it just shows you its shortcuts. Follow all the steps given below
1) Click on the below link and download the file "AutorunExterminator"
https://ccm.net/downloads/security-and-maintenance/5911-autorun-exterminator/
[Note : Make sure Dot Net Framework is installed in your PC to install the
"AutorunExterminator" OR
Click on the below link and download the Dot Net Framework
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=25150
Extract it --> Double-click on "AutorunExterminator" --> Plug your flash drive now.
This will remove the autorun.inf files from your flash drive and also from drives.
2) Click on Start --> In search bar, type cmd. When the command prompt option
appears in the search list, right-click on it and select the option "Run as
administrator". Here I assume your drive letter as G:
Enter this command.
attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.*
You can copy the above command --> Right-click in the Command Prompt and
paste it.
Note : Replace the letter g with your flash drive letter where the files are hidden.
Now look for your files.
3) After that, download the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from the below link
https://ccm.net/downloads/security-and-maintenance/4621-malwarebytes-anti-malware/
Update it --> Perform "Full Scan"
Good Luck
