I try to learn how to do some of these things myself, but that is probably one of the most complicated set of instructions I have ever heard. I just want to remove the short cut virus from my usb. I'll just buy a new one!
so that`s why u need to learn haw to recover the usb ... be cause life is too short to re search and re download and re waste time in download to all the files that u lost
Hello - thank you so so so much. I thought I had lost all of my podcast recordings and data for my relationship podcast shows, but thanks to your suggestion I got them all back. With Love and GRATITUDE thank you Have a great new year.
Really useful men. For those who just want to see the file that you put into your USB. Tools --> ... as he said and when you see the hidden files you click on the one that has no name, then you'll see your files
+Công Lương Thế Yes its really important thing to take the backup before you format it considering its infected by that virus and hoping your data is gone.
I think unticking the '' Hide protected operating system files'' is quite a bad idea 'cause it will make your your system appears 2 notepads on the desktopand other files, moreover my hard disk drives don't have enough space to backup :). Anyway, thanks for replying me.
Yes I have done it by seeing this video in 1st 1 minute 55 secs, and applying it to my computer. Best Solution to open Short cut- effected file in your pendrive. then copy your urgent files from pendrive to your pc. problem solved. thank you very much.
hey men if you still active i salute you for this i fix my Flash drive thanks to you bro salute you and i back my flashdrive files thanks again :D big LIKE FOR THIS :D you save my time and life xD
in Win 10 just go to folder options and click (show hidden folders) and unclick (hide protected system files) no u will be able to see your folder in pendrive (its the one with no name)
Ravi Pal Cool. I hope your issue has been resolved now. Thank you for your valuable comment. Please share it and subscribe to the channel to get the future updates. Thanks :)
I got this from one of the sites and it worked for windows 8.1, remember cmd should be opened with administrator.. This is a problem with your file structure, your USB stick was probably hit by a virus. - Scan the USB drive and make sure it's clean - Go to Computer and check your USB drive letter path (example F) - Go to Start > Run > type "cmd" in the box (without quotes) - In the command prompt type the following line: attrib -h -r -s F:*.* /s /d Where F can be replaced by your driver letter. Check if it works and the folders are back to normal. If so, you can delete the shortcuts.
That was really cool. Its actually good removing it ourselves rather than depending on other software to remove it which inturn might bring other virus. Very well explained
Thank u thankk thankkkkkkk u soooo much mje bilkul ni ata ta comp use karna i am a girl but apki waja se mer imp data agya thank u so muchhhhh am so happy fst tim i use this and i recovr all my data ho god

bro plzz help me i have two antivirus gauard macfee and f secure but nithere of then cannot be open and iam havving that damn problem. and in temp folder there are lot of files with 0kb thank you any help
+Nishant Raj If you cannot find them, don't be stressed. Just go to that pen-drive that is infected and the go to Tools>Folder Options>View>Uncheck 'Hide protected operating system files'.Then again go to that pen-drive and see a folder having the removable disc icon with no name... Click on that and your files are there. I did the same to recover my files!!
+Sarvagya Dwivedi Thank you! Does this virus affect a Windows 7 OS also? After we restore the files, and delete the shortcut, do we need to fix anything else on the windows 7 OS?
+dnbvict no. not for each and every one. Trustedinstaller is not a problem. The virus on which trustedinstaller is right full owner is. SO first we need to identify the virus process here. The best way to identify it is to check if there is any process coming multiple times. Let me know if there is any process multiple time.
When I did this, my shortcut files that I wasn't able to open got removed and none of my files actually came back, so there is nothing on my usb. Can you help me fix it?
i m having this problem but this shortcut virus don't show up in my pen drive usually . is this a big threat need to be fixed . will it harm if i connect hard to my pc
@Nishant Raj for Windows 7. Go to ORGANIZE at the top-leftside then you'll see FOLDER AND SEARCH OPTIONS. Now you can just follow the steps in the video..
When I turned "protected operating system file" off, my flashdisk logo appeared and its' open normally. I can backup the files then format my disk. It's becomes normal.
I didn't find this trusted installer thing.. as well as that other thing since from day one i chose never check for updates.. My flash drives all turned shortcut mode on my friend's laptop and I had to format one, then her laptop killed it again.. as for my laptop it did this like 3 times but never again.. and it did it from one port.. one port would make it into shortcut and the other would not turn it into shortcut and would open the shortcut... however now i have 5 flashes that went into my friend's laptop only to become shortcuts and my laptop won't open any of them.. though searching with the * shows that stuff on them.. but everything would be out of folder and annoying.. I want the shortcut thing to either disappear or open... So what am I to do?
Please click show processes from all users and also exit msiexec.exe also rename c:\windows\system32\msiexec.exe or you can use malwarebytes antimalware to remove infection 100% working even if its is trial

I got this from one of the sites and it worked for windows 8.1, remember cmd should be opened with administrator..
This is a problem with your file structure, your USB stick was probably hit by a virus.
- Scan the USB drive and make sure it's clean
- Go to Computer and check your USB drive letter path (example F)
- Go to Start > Run > type "cmd" in the box (without quotes)

attrib -h -r -s F:*.* /s /d
Where F can be replaced by your driver letter.
Check if it works and the folders are back to normal. If so, you can delete the shortcuts.

Does this virus affect a Windows 7 OS also? After we restore the files, and delete the shortcut, do we need to fix anything else on the windows 7 OS?
+Pixel Pintura no pixel, i did not got any trouble in OS..
C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-trustedinstaller_31bf3856ad364e35_6.2.9200.16384_none_e9d6dae8d6eaebf2
you deleted the shortcut (removable disk) virus?
I found the trustedinstaller on almost every process, not in the temp tho. Should I go ahead and neutralize each and every one of them?
+dnbvict no. not for each and every one. Trustedinstaller is not a problem. The virus on which trustedinstaller is right full owner is. SO first we need to identify the virus process here. The best way to identify it is to check if there is any process coming multiple times. Let me know if there is any process multiple time.
