Hello,
I could not solve the issue with the shortcut problem caused by a virus on my flash drive. I have followed the instructions made by others but this is not working i don't know if i've entered the command correctly as follows:
attrib -h-r-s/s/d j:\*.* this is not working and says either:
1. Invalid switch
2. is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Please if someone could make me a recommendation about the entering the command. Thanks guys.

This type issue could be caused by a USB virus. It will spread to all of your USB memory devices and hard disk.
Here is a tool to remove the virus and vaccinate your USB against further viruses.
Download UsbFix (created by El Desaparecido) on your desktop.

If your antivirus gives an alert, ignore it and temporarily deactivate the antivirus.
Plug in your usb devices (Flash drive, pen drive. External HD etc...) don't open them.
Double click sur UsbFix.exe.
Click on deletion
.
Let the tool work.

At the end of the scan a report will show which you can copy and paste here..
The report is save at the root ( C:\UsbFix.txt ).
You can also vaccinate against any virus.
