How to remove shortcut virus


How to remove Shortcut virus:
                   Many of us or very familiar with this virus, it creates shortcut files on the name of the folders and sub-folders. Anti-virus won’t detect this type of virus. Virus makers are very clever as they write a simple executable code which will use all the system resources.
                 Manually we have to remove this type of virus.
Step by Step Procedure to remove Shortcut virus:
·         Copy the below script to NOTEPAD, and save the file as TOOL.bat in the the local drives.

attrib -s -h -r autorun.inf
del autorun.inf
md autorun.inf
attrib +s +h +r autorun.inf
attrib -s -h -r RECYCLER
rd /s RECYCLER
copy /y NUL RECYCLER
attrib +s +h +r RECYCLER
cacls /P autorun.inf everyone:N
cacls /P RECYCLER everyone:N

·         Double click the .bat file, and it will remove the virus files in all the local drives and will create RECYCLER file and autorun.inf folder. As the original virus files are of the same name, by creating a dummy file and folder the virus script cannot create virus generating folders.
·         Finally go the below path and type dir/ah
Path:       
D:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming>  dir/ah
              It will show you hidden attribute files, if u suspect any .exe unkown file then use the below scripting to remove the file

1)      If you find and unwanted file in roaming  folder then use the below script by saving it as a .bat file and paste it in the  in the below path
 attrib -s -h -r FILENAME
del FILENAME
md FILENAME
attrib +s +h +r FILENAME

2)      If you find and unwanted file in roaming file then use the below script by saving it as a .bat file and paste it in the  below path:
 attrib -s -h -r FOLDERNAME
rd /s FOLDERNAME
copy /y NUL R FOLDERNAME
attrib +s +h +r  FOLDERNAME

        If still u find the unwanted files or folders in the above path, login in the safe mode and run the above script according to the above steps.
Finally, the root for the virus will be removed by following the above steps, but the shortcut files which are already created will not be removed.
To recover the hidden data using the below script
D:\>dir/ah
Use the above command for displaying the hidden files in u r pen drive or storage drive.
D:\>attrib -s -h -r filename
Enter the hidden file names u want to recovery

Pendrive Folder Lock


Folder Lock:
                Normally we will use folder lock software to protect a folder in our pc. If the folder is in the external storage like pen drive it is not preferable, because when we use the same pen drive in another pc we may not able to access the folder as the folder lock software is not available in this pc.
           Below is the small tip so that we can lock or unlock the folder by running .exe file in any system and also password protected.
 Below is the steps to create folder lock exe file:
1)      Copy and paste the below code in a notepad
cls
@ECHO OFF
title Folder Private
if EXIST No-access goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Private goto MDLOCKER
:CONFIRM
echo Are you sure you want to lock the folder(Y/N)
set/p "cho=>"
if %cho%==Y goto LOCK
if %cho%==y goto LOCK
if %cho%==n goto END
if %cho%==N goto END
echo Invalid choice.
goto CONFIRM
:LOCK
ren Private No-access
cacls No-access /p everyone:N
echo Folder locked
pause
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to unlock folder
set /p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%==PASSWORD goto FAIL
cacls No-access /p everyone:F
ren No-access Private
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
pause
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
pause
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Private
echo Private created successfully
goto End
pause
:End

        2) Replace  PASSWORD  with u r password in the 23rd line .
        3) Save the file as folderlock.bat
        4) For security purpose u can convert the .bat file to .exe or else u can use the same.
Note:  The above code will only work for pendrive with NTFS File system.
For FAT32  file system use the below code.
Quote: cls
@ECHO OFF
title Folder Private
if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Private goto MDLOCKER
:CONFIRM
echo Are you sure you want to lock the folder(Y/N)
set/p "cho=>"
if %cho%==Y goto LOCK
if %cho%==y goto LOCK
if %cho%==n goto END
if %cho%==N goto END
echo Invalid choice.
goto CONFIRM
:LOCK
ren Private "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
echo Folder locked
pause
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to unlock folder
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%== PASSWORD    goto FAIL
ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Private
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
pause
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
pause
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Private
echo Private created successfully
goto End
