So i picked up a virus in my pendrive which turned all my files and folders into shortcuts. So I went online and referred to a few posts.
I went to the hidden folders and copied all the contents (which werent hidden) to anorther folder on my computer and format my pendrive.
It still has this VNScript File named vgzzizniyh. (which wont delete -_-)
I also tried run>cmd > attrib -h -r -s /s /d h:\*.*
nothing happened (and yes its h: )
files are still turning into shortcuts when i copy them to the drive. Idk What to do, help!
P.S. Its Windows 7 and i use EScan antivirus which just updated and still it didnt detect the virus (i scaned like 15 times),i realised its a virus when i googled it. so whatsup with that?
