THREE:

here an example:Microsoft.lnk Shortcut Virus? Worm:PIF/Starter.A

They are many names for this virus but the most common
is “the shortcut virus”. Its capable of “disappearing” our
folder and “appearing” it into shortcut.
The first thing NOT to do is to FORMAT your flash drive.
Rumors says that this virus is just a prank..
So that unwise user will think they files all gone!
Your file is NOT gone or corrupted, its just HIDDEN.
Follow these steps (if you are using windows..):
1) open your infected drive directory (example: drive F:)
2) open tool, folder option, view tab
3) click “show hidden files & folders”
4) UNCLICK both “Hide extension for known file type” and
“Hide protected operating system files (recommended)”
5) If there is a warning, just click yes
/* Now you should be able to see your lost file (its in transparent folder)*/
6) Enter the hidden folder, CUT all your file and PASTE it inside a new folder. (repeat this step for your other folder too)
7) Delete all old folders that is empty and also the annoying 1kB shortcut folder. (also any suspicious folder or icon such as desktop.ini, thumb.db etc that might be virus)
Dont forget to undo step 2 and 3 if your done.
/*if you’re infected by this virus again in the future, i recommend you to put all your files and folder in just ONE folder inside your external device.(so you dont have to repeat step 6 so many time)*/
good luck

• If you did not format your flash drive, then check whether the files are not in hidden mode.
• Click on "Start" -->Run-->type cmd and click on OK.
• Here I assume your pendrive as G:
• Enter this command.
• attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.*
• Note : Replace the letter g with your flash drive letter.
