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!
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.
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.
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.
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)

Thanks for help, my virus however took the process name msiexec. I searched both msiexec and trustedinstaller, changed permissions then deleted all along with their mui (prefetch)
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
this error can be caused by unplugging a removable storage device such as an external USB drive while the device is in use or by faulty hardware such as hard drive or cd-Rom drive that is falling make sure any removable storage is properly connected and then restart your computer this what my laptop saying

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.
alternative solution: prevention is better than cure... so to be protected at the first hand so that the virus don't affect ur pc install usb disk security, that's the prevention
now for the cure, i had tried this process on my computer and my friend too and it worked succesfully, hope it works on ur pc too guyz...
first open the infected usb drive from ur pc then select all the visible files and folders(make sure... show all hidden files is activated) then press delete button... this moves all your files to the recycle bin... then empty the recycle bin... say good bye to the shortcut virus :D this might work for sure (y).. best of luck
Thanks for help, my virus however took the process name msiexec. I searched both msiexec and trustedinstaller, changed permissions then deleted all along with their mui (prefetch)
