What is a Shortcut Virus?

There’s no wiki definition as such; but, as the name suggests, a shortcut virus is a virus (a malware) that hides your original files inside shortcuts.

Types of Shortcut Virus

Depending on its effects, it can be broadly classified into 3 types:
  1. Drive Shortcut Virus
  2. Folder Shortcut Virus
  3. File Shortcut Virus

Drive Shortcut Virus

As the name suggests, Drive Shortcut virus creates a shortcut of the whole removable drive. This not only limits to Flash Drives or USB Drives but can also affect External as well as Internal Hard Disks also.

Folder Shortcut Virus

Self-explanatory, folder shortcut virus creates shortcuts of folders and wraps its contents (files) altogether.

File Shortcut Virus

A virus that makes shortcuts of program files.

Removing Shortcut Virus using CMD

Shortcut Viruses once entered in your PC, is then difficult to remove. It may inject into any of the files and create shortcuts.
So, here’s another way to do it: Removing Shortcut Virus using CMD.

Steps to remove shortcut virus using CMD:

  1. Plug your USB drive in PC.
  2. Open Start Menu-> Run. (Alternatively, Win + R key combination). In the run dialog box, type cmd.
  3. Copy the below code and paste it into CMD:
  4. Type Of   ATTRIB -H -R -S /S /D Drive Name:\*.*


The explanation of the above code:
Attrib specifies the attribute (as you might have guessed it)
-H is to unhide all the files on Flash Drive (which were hidden as shortcuts due to the virus)
-R is to create the files in your Pen Drive (recreate the shortcut files retrieving the original contents)
-S makes all the file on your USB drive not to be the part of system again (which makes it easy to do the process)
G is the Assumed USB Drive’s Letter (you’ll have to change it according to your Pen Drive / External HDD drive’s letter)

Paying with Your Face

Face-detecting systems in China now authorize payments, provide access to facilities, and track down criminals. Will other countries follow? Availability: Now by  Will Knight S hortly after walking through the door at  Face++ , a Chinese startup valued at roughly a billion dollars, I see my face, unshaven and looking a bit jet-lagged, flash up on a large screen near the entrance. Having been added to a database, my face now provides automatic access to the building. It can also be used to monitor my movements through each room inside. As I tour the offices of Face++ (pronounced “face plus plus”), located in a suburb of Beijing, I see it appear on several more screens, automatically captured from countless angles by the company’s software. On one screen a video shows the software tracking 83 different points on my face simultaneously. It’s a little creepy, but undeniably impressive. Over the past few years, computers have become incredibly good at recognizing faces, and th

Microsoft’s giving you just 10 days now, not 31, to change your mind about Windows 10

By Mark Hachman Aug 8th 2016 The new policy means that you have until August 12 to decide whether you like Windows 10. Microsoft has hidden a new downgrade policy within the Windows 10 Anniversary Update: Once you’ve installed it, you’ll only have 10 days to downgrade to an earlier version or build, rather than the 31 days provided before. Historically, Microsoft had given users a full month to roll back any updates, including upgrades to Windows 10.  Supersite for Windows reported this week, however, that it was unable to downgrade to an earlier build after a 10-day limit had expired, though it wasn’t exactly clear what builds the limit applied to. We asked Microsoft for clarification, and it boils down to this: Applying the Anniversary Update triggers the new policy. According to

Researchers at the company could unveil a quantum computer that is superior to conventional computers by the end of next year. Researchers at Google may unveil a truly powerful quantum computer by the end of next year. While Google itself remains tight-lipped on timings, New Scientist reports that many researchers in the field reckon its team isn’t far from completing perhaps the most advanced quantum device the world has seen. “It’s Google’s to lose,” Simon Devitt, from the Riken Center for Emergent Matter Science in Japan, told the magazine. The new report confirms what we reported last year after visiting Google’s hardware lab. Google plans to demonstrate a quantum chip that, using an assembly like this, can solve problems beyond what any ordinary computer is capable of. It’s no secret that Google is striving to build a quantum computer that can outperform conventional computers—a concept known as quantum supremacy. Having
