This shortcut viruses are not easily removed and once you delete it and next time you again connect with your computer it again shows up and if you click it then your computer is completely affected by this virus, it also hides every folder that are in pendrive and cannot be seen even if we try to unhide it.

5. Then to unhide all the folders that are in pendrive in command prompt enter
