    It turns out that my computer was infected by this. I keep reformatting my flash drive but it just keeps on returning. That’s when I decided to look inside my machine, and there it was. Thank you so much for this tutorial!

    My drives have been infected with shortcut virus, when i open a folder, there is a shortcut of the same folder present inside it, tried removing it and when i restart it comes back. AVG does detect it and removes it but it comes again. Even in my usbs, it goes away and then comes back again. My files don’t get hidden but a shortcut folder of the same name gets created inside it.

    I have to give a thumbs up to you for this lovely information.
    I tried all the methods given but the problem persisted.
    Out of curiosity, I just decided to perform a Boot-Time Scan with Avast Premier and it seems to have worked but I’m not 100% certain if it’ll solve the issue forever. Your feedback is needed.

    I followed the instructions exactly, I ran cmd as administrator, and type the exact command. I waited for the new command line before I checked the drive, but still everything is in shortcut. Dunno what happened. Repeated it three times, but it still did not work. I may be doing something wrong. Need your help.
    P.S. The drive I’m fixing is a my phone’s memory card.
