How to remove shortcut virus from pendrive


The most commom virus menace for Windows users is the shortcut virus changing all your files and folders in pendrive to shortcuts. It's a familiar problem among most college students. We have all tried to use the ineffective shortcut virus remover, a third party software, to solve the problem. But it is very simple to deal with.

  1. Delete all the shortcuts from the pendrive. They can be identified by the arrow symbol in icons and having a size of less than 4kB usually.
  2. Now open command prompt.
  3. Go to the pendrive by typing <alphabet assigned to drive>:
  4. Now enter the magic line attrib -s -h /S /D
  5. Wait for some time... It's done! All your files and folders are back.


The secret behind this:
The virus only changes the folders' system attributes, makes it hidden and creates shortcuts. So by removing the shortcuts, and removing the hidden and system attributes from all files and folders, you have terminated the virus without trace!

How to fix: -Grub rescue (simplest solution)

Just before few days ago, my laptop was fallen down. After when I powered on it , it was showing error, and not allow to boot me any of my OS (windows and ubuntu 12.10 I had ).

Error was like this :
                  error:attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0'.
                  grub rescue>

I first started searching on google (using another laptop). Got some basic ideas like 
> it's problem with hard disk
> Either hard disk is damaged or corrupted.

First thing, i was looking for my data . I want to backup  my data anyway. 
 > I came to know that we can do it by using : "Live Ubuntu".

I took bootable ubuntu pendrive from friend and started. but it was not showing my hard disk. I tried 2-3 times but same problem . Then I find one option while booting to repair hard disk problem . After that I got all my data , i was looking for.

But still it was not able to boot any of my OS , but now I had no fear to format the disk. I started formatting using Ubuntu but it's not working. Then I tried with windows7 .  I have to format my disk  2-3 times - first C: drive only than all drive but at last have to delete all my partitions. 

Now it is working  fine.
