Issue Solution Note Suggestions: Items on my flash drive appear as shortcuts

Issue
I caught a virus on my flash drive at work and it appears to have changed all my file names to short cuts. I believe I've cleaned the virus but how do i get my files back so that I can view them?

Solution
If you did not format your flash drive, then check whether the files are not in hidden mode. Follow the following steps. Step 1: Click on the below link and download the file "AutorunExterminator" http://en.kioskea.net/download/download-11613-autorun-exterminator Extract it --> Double-click on "AutorunExterminator" --> Plug your pendrive now. This will remove the autorun.inf files from your pendrive and also from the drives. Step 2: Click on "Start" -->Run --> type cmd and click on OK. Here I assume your pendrive 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 : Don't forget to replace the letter g with your pen drive letter. Press Enter
