How To Display Back, Folders Hidden Due To Shortcut Virus ?

Shortcut Virus lately often unsettling computer users. Generally this virus spreads rapidly through the flash media. Although it is not so dangerous, but the virus is quite annoying. Because the virus is making all the existing folders to be hidden and replaced with a folder shortcut from the original folder. If we open the show hidden files / folders not necessarily be able to see the original folder.

There is one way of showing the folders, to return again as usual is to use the command at a command prompt in windows. But the first time we did the first scan the computer and make sure that the virus is gone down to its roots. If the virus is not removed first, then our efforts will be futile, so the virus will be acting up again.

Okay, we just practiced this way. The steps are as follows.

1. Open a command prompt windows, way is by typing cmd in the Run menu, or press the Windows key + R, then type cmd.

2. Then type the name of the location of the drive / removable disk followed by the sign ":" (without brackets). Press enter. For example: d:, f:, i:, etc..

3. After that, type attrib / s / d-s-h

4. Wait until the process is complete. So the hidden folder will appear again as usual.

5. Good luck ...
