I always find the shortcut virus in my flash drives and tried to remove by running cmd typing 'attrib -h -r -s /s /d d:\*.*' but it says "access denied".
However, I've never encountered this virus in my hardrive of my laptop but wanna ask if it may contain anyway.
Please help.
Thank you.

Hello,

# Download UsbFix on your computer, and execute it.
# It will launch automatically, and a shortcut will be created on your desktop.
# Connect all your external data sources to your PC (Usb keys, external drives, etc...) Do not open them.
# Choose " Deletion " option.


#The computer wille re-start, and it may be longer than usually.


# UsbFix will display a message at re-start.


# Click "OK" to start cleaning.
# Copy/paste the report here.
