Can you explain to me what is the shortcut virus? Is that a virus that creates shortcuts to itself on a pendruve and uses atributtes to hide real data? I met it before. There is a small exe for changing thise atributes.

My non dev friend called me in middle of night for getting shortcut virus removed! I would have blasted π« him but I felt pity on the guy as I know that he is poor with tech stuff
Any he had only windows, so I Google up solution and replied back to him.
He asked where to put it. I told him in cmd. He is like what so I told him to press win+r then in that type d and "black" π΄ window will appear. Type in that.
guess what he typed exactly as mentioned in the reply and didn't replace the drive name properly .π
I told him to put proper drive and saw that he missed spaces so l told him that he missed space π€ and he put only one space and it still had problem so I had to explain it in weirdest was possible( shown in fig 1.1 had been writing report and figure gave yo be mentioned with number π )
Finally. It was all done! Well some pf my cs ( !counter strike but computer science friend) are worse then this can't use teminal or even connect to WiFi (wpa-enterprise @ college with mschap v2 and peap auth which is crackable using twin tower and brute force) properly, do I guess it not BA's that this guy cry to get rid of shortcut virus (virus > wifi setup) π¬
Finally I feel relived after ranting πͺ
