Here are the steps to remove shortcut virus using command prompt:

1. Open command prompt and type "taskmgr" without quotes. This will open the task manager.

  • Go to processes tab.
  • Find any malicious processes. To determine malicious processes from safe, try to find processes with a different description such as "%wscript%". Also, the process name may be different from the normal processes on Windows.
  • Click the malicious process and click "end process".
2. On the command prompt window, type "msconfig" without any quotes.
  • Go to start up tab.
  • Find and select processes that seems to be malicious (example: VBscript.exe).
  • Uncheck the corresponding checkbox before them.
  • Click apply.
3. Open your drive and delete any malicious or unknown file.

4. Go to command prompt window and type your drive letter (ex. F:)

5. Type "attrib -s -h -r /s /d *.*" without any quotes. Press enter then wait for prompt to appear. This will unhide all files on your drive.

6. After the prompt appears, type "del *.ink" without quotes to delete all shortcuts on your drive.

Go to Start and click Run then enter ( cmd ) in Run.

In the command prompt enter the drive like ( C: ) then look up for hidden files using command ( dir /a:h )

If you found (autorun.inf ) or any virus files like ( e.cmd ), do these commands for them

( attrib autorun.inf -s -h -r ) ( del autorun.inf )

You can change ( autorun.inf ) to any virus files name like ( e.cmd )

When you clear your cache; in the pagelocked safety tab in the right hand corner of your desktop, it will remove a virus called ManiCraft v.32 When it removes that area, your desktop lab will confirm an ultra delete rename, which is 100% virus free. Click confirm and enter your I.D Password and it will confirm. Then you will have to wait an hour two three hours for it to wipe of the OS Form; (completely safe, wont loose information) and the virus from command prompt will have blown off your system; Therefore, save the settings and its all free!

This only works when you download Google Chrome, For some reason because Google Chrome supports the delete portion of the command prompt.
