I try to learn how to do some of these things myself, but that is probably one of the most complicated set of instructions I have ever heard. I just want to remove the short cut virus from my usb. I'll just buy a new one!
Really useful men. For those who just want to see the file that you put into your USB. Tools --> ... as he said and when you see the hidden files you click on the one that has no name, then you'll see your files
+Công Lương Thế Yes its really important thing to take the backup before you format it considering its infected by that virus and hoping your data is gone.
I think unticking the '' Hide protected operating system files'' is quite a bad idea 'cause it will make your your system appears 2 notepads on the desktopand other files, moreover my hard disk drives don't have enough space to backup :). Anyway, thanks for replying me.
Hello - thank you so so so much. I thought I had lost all of my podcast recordings and data for my relationship podcast shows, but thanks to your suggestion I got them all back. With Love and GRATITUDE thank you Have a great new year.

Ravi Pal Cool. I hope your issue has been resolved now. Thank you for your valuable comment. Please share it and subscribe to the channel to get the future updates. Thanks :)
+Nishant Raj If you cannot find them, don't be stressed. Just go to that pen-drive that is infected and the go to Tools>Folder Options>View>Uncheck 'Hide protected operating system files'.Then again go to that pen-drive and see a folder having the removable disc icon with no name... Click on that and your files are there. I did the same to recover my files!!
+Sarvagya Dwivedi Thank you! Does this virus affect a Windows 7 OS also? After we restore the files, and delete the shortcut, do we need to fix anything else on the windows 7 OS?
Pratik CitizenOf TheEarth Sure welcome. Glad that it helped you. Please share the video and subscribe to the channel to get the future updates. Thanks :)
@Nishant Raj for Windows 7. Go to ORGANIZE at the top-leftside then you'll see FOLDER AND SEARCH OPTIONS. Now you can just follow the steps in the video..
bro plzz help me i have two antivirus gauard macfee and f secure but nithere of then cannot be open and iam havving that damn problem. and in temp folder there are lot of files with 0kb thank you any help
I didn't find this trusted installer thing.. as well as that other thing since from day one i chose never check for updates.. My flash drives all turned shortcut mode on my friend's laptop and I had to format one, then her laptop killed it again.. as for my laptop it did this like 3 times but never again.. and it did it from one port.. one port would make it into shortcut and the other would not turn it into shortcut and would open the shortcut... however now i have 5 flashes that went into my friend's laptop only to become shortcuts and my laptop won't open any of them.. though searching with the * shows that stuff on them.. but everything would be out of folder and annoying.. I want the shortcut thing to either disappear or open... So what am I to do?
I got this from one of the sites and it worked for windows 8.1, remember cmd should be opened with administrator.. This is a problem with your file structure, your USB stick was probably hit by a virus. - Scan the USB drive and make sure it's clean - Go to Computer and check your USB drive letter path (example F) - Go to Start > Run > type "cmd" in the box (without quotes) - In the command prompt type the following line: attrib -h -r -s F:*.* /s /d Where F can be replaced by your driver letter. Check if it works and the folders are back to normal. If so, you can delete the shortcuts.
Tahsildar Shayampet That is great! I am glad that it helped you. Please share the video and subscribe to the channel to get the future updates. Thanks :)
i m having this problem but this shortcut virus don't show up in my pen drive usually . is this a big threat need to be fixed . will it harm if i connect hard to my pc
Thanks. It really helped me save my data. I haved searched hundreds of ways but none except this reaaly helped. Can you please show ways to stop it in windows 8.1? Would be a real great help. Thank you once again.
When I did this, my shortcut files that I wasn't able to open got removed and none of my files actually came back, so there is nothing on my usb. Can you help me fix it?
Really it was useful to me .thanks so much one of my important photos gone after seeing u vedio I got back thanks a lot ... I done a great job thank uuuuuuuuuu
That was really cool. Its actually good removing it ourselves rather than depending on other software to remove it which inturn might bring other virus. Very well explained
dont go that inner for showing hidden filez you can goto search option and type . you find the hidden files and goto open folder location u can find your hidden files
When I turned "protected operating system file" off, my flashdisk logo appeared and its' open normally. I can backup the files then format my disk. It's becomes normal.
sir my is windows xp when i opened my hard disk folders in it are changed to shortcuts when opening it is saying '505040.exe' that this short cut refers to has been changed/moved so shortcut can not work properly do you want to delete (yes /no)? please help me..
ok. i cant see temp folder on c disc at all. there is no wuauclt process in task manager. i cant even find trustedinstaller anywhere.i have found wuauclt file in windows/system32. i have changed properties. and denied it all. and removed trustedinstaller from list.and it still wont work
+hrvoje jurić Ok. Not every time the file wuauclt causes this problem. There might be some other process available which is causing this issue. You need to find and identify that process first. Its simple, just go to the Task Manager and then sort the processes by ascending or descending order and find out which process you see twice. That might be the process or exe causing the issue. once you identify the process, then try following the rest of the steps for that exe. Let me know if that worked for you. Thanks :)
Could you please tell me, how could I reset all the settings that I've changed? I followed your instructions but it does't seemed to have worked for me. When I open my USB, it is empty, but the storage says that it has files inside so I always use cmd to see the files. But I just want to reset all the settings especially in the properties of exe files that is located in System32.
+Julius Caesar I'm just confused because when I tried again to configure the properties of that exe files, it says "To continue, you must be an administrative user with permission to view this object's security properties. Do you want to continue? [Continue]". How the hell did it become like that. When I'm following your instructions, it looks just like in your tutorial but now it's like this.
+Julius Caesar You said the USB seems empty but it shows the data available on it. So would suggest you to enable the option "Hide Protected operating system files (Recommended)" from "Tools >> Folder Option >> View". Once you enable this option, you will be able to view all the data available on your USB. Let me know if you are still facing the issue. Thanks :)
Please click show processes from all users and also exit msiexec.exe also rename c:\windows\system32\msiexec.exe or you can use malwarebytes antimalware to remove infection 100% working even if its is trial
Do you by chance know if there are multiple versions of this virus (as I've read a lot of different ways that don't include the Windows update settings in any way)?
+Techno Math Actually, a friend of mine had the problem. Luckily, a Malwarebytes Anti-Malqare scan has cleared the issue. Then, I removed the virus from his USB through CMD. Thanks though. :)
Thank u thankk thankkkkkkk u soooo much mje bilkul ni ata ta comp use karna i am a girl but apki waja se mer imp data agya thank u so muchhhhh am so happy fst tim i use this and i recovr all my data ho god
+dnbvict no. not for each and every one. Trustedinstaller is not a problem. The virus on which trustedinstaller is right full owner is. SO first we need to identify the virus process here. The best way to identify it is to check if there is any process coming multiple times. Let me know if there is any process multiple time.
Mise Sapphire Open the File Explorer. Click on "Tools" on the top of the Explorer. If its not visible then Press "Alt" button and then the "Tools" option will be available.. Then go to "Tools" and select "Folder Options". If you are still facing the issue, go to the Control Panel and search for "Folder Options". Let me know if this helps. Thanks :)
+Promit Dutta If you still think there are some important files or data available on this USB, then enable the following option. You can copy those files and data. Go to Tools >> Option >> Folder Permission and then go to the View tab and uncheck this option "Hide protected operating system files". In this way you can recover the data from the USB. Let me know if you still you have that issue. THanks :)
John Pipoy What operating system you are using? If its windows 8 or 8.1 then, I am already in a process of making the same video for windows 8 and 8.1. I need some basic information from you. 1) Does your USB contains following files? ~$WWU.FAT32 autorun desktop My Removable Device(4GB) Thumbs or just the 2) Shortcut folders of all your lost data. If possible please send me the screenshot of your USB on following Mail Id : keyrun.rubde1986@gmail.com. Waiting for your response. Thanks. :)

+amer ahmed If its the windows XP then you can follow the steps provided in the following video to enable the "Security" tab. ua-cam.com/video/TB3a4ot-7X0/v-deo.html Let me know if that helps. Thanks :)

Hi I tried but am not finding the option wuauclt to remove virus. However I could see "Trusted installer" could you please help me out here further I really need this now. I tried even through CMD but for me its showing access denied. So kindly guide me from here. Thanks
+Uditha Senadeera There might be some other .exe causing the issue. Its not always wualct one. So you need to identify the correct .exe file which is causing the issue. if we can have the remote access of your system, we might help you. Let me know if that's possible. Thanks :)
+Jamie can you send me the shortcut virus available in your USB. Exclude your data. Make a zip folder and include all the files in your USB apart from your actual data and send it to my following id : keyrun.rubde1986@gmail.com. Thansk :)
gopal singh Your account might be the Guest account. And that is the reason you will not be able to take the ownership. Please create a new account with the administrative privileges or login using administrator account. Let me know if this works. Thanks :)
alternative solution: prevention is better than cure... so to be protected at the first hand so that the virus don't affect ur pc install usb disk security, that's the prevention now for the cure, i had tried this process on my computer and my friend too and it worked succesfully, hope it works on ur pc too guyz... first open the infected usb drive from ur pc then select all the visible files and folders(make sure... show all hidden files is activated) then press delete button... this moves all your files to the recycle bin... then empty the recycle bin... say good bye to the shortcut virus :D this might work for sure (y).. best of luck
There is an only file in my system "wuaudt.exe" the virus could have an other name? because the direct acces that apearse take me direct to rundll32, if i erase these file can i elminate the virus?
after recovering the hidden files from my pendrive...i just formatted it...the pendrive shortcut does not appear....what should i do to be completely sure that the usb virus has been completely removed?
Hi I need your help I got this virus and I deleted all the virus after restart I lost all my data but the HDD is still full I change the attribe it show all the empty folders also but I lost my data can you help me please?!
+Majid Hassanpour Go to the properties of the HDD and let me know if the file system of it changed to RAW. If yes then please visit following video : ua-cam.com/video/84Bq7J0H6dA/v-deo.html and if no then I think you can simply enable the option "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" option from View >> Option >> Folder Option. Let me know if you are still facing the same issue. Thanks in advance. :)
Does this virus spread from drive to pc or does it just infect the usb when inserted into the infected machine? reason i ask is because it has infected our network and i cant trace which machine has this virus. i also do not find "wuauclt" and i am using win7
Chris Gerber The virus infects every external devices connected to the machine. yes the virus also affects the machine itself. You are saying that it has affected your entire network. There are chances that one of your machines was infected by it and affected others by USB. Can you just send me the screenshot of the data available inside of one of your USB Sticks? Based on that I can identify where exactly the issue is. Looking forward to your response. Thanks :)
thanks for the video. i will try it on my class pc win 7 which also cause this shortcut on usb. good thing it appear all virus files so i can follow your tutorial
+ptrck mngbn The files might not be lost from the USB still. Its just that they are hidden in the folder. Go to Tools > Folder option and under the View tab uncheck the option "Hide protected operating system files" and you will be able to see all your lost files. Let me know if that helps :)
hi! I'm using windows 8.1 and i couldn't find wuauclt.exe and there's nothing like trustedInstaller in temp folder and the windows update script is not running and there's no option like properties with it. i hope you'll help me get rid of this coz this thing is driving me crazy update:after reading the comments, i came to know that this doesn't work with windows 8.1 so, is there any other work around for it?
Rohith Thakkallapally I also came to know that the method does not work for Windows 8.1. I am on it to make a separate video for Windows 8.1 and will update you about it. Thannks for your valuable comments and subscribe to it to get the updates. Thanks.
Dj Bougle Rohith Thakkallapally Rohith Thakkallapally Sure. I am in a process of making the same video for windows 8 and 8.1. I need some basic information from you. 1) Does your USB contains following files? ~$WWU.FAT32 autorun desktop My Removable Device(4GB) Thumbs or just the 2) Shortcut folders of all your lost data. If possible please send me the screenshot of your USB on following Mail Id : keyrun.rubde1986@gmail.com. Waiting for your response. Thanks. :)
my device just contains "My Removable Device shortcut" and when I open that shortcut, I find my files in there. one more thing, my system always shows me "system volume information" folder for my removable drives even when I hide "hidden folders and files" and operating system files are set to be hidden. I always have to hide this folder manually whenever I connect a removable drive. I hope this helps
6 Years later and this Tutorial has saved my 1 year photos and videos edits. I felt like I had lost everything. God Bless you Sir ❤️

Good Day Sir, I'm using windows 7 and I can't find the file you named at the Task Manager. Can you help me?
In the down most tab(which contains- Start,times,etc) do a right click and you will find it
I got this from one of the sites and it worked for windows 8.1, remember cmd should be opened with administrator..
This is a problem with your file structure, your USB stick was probably hit by a virus.
- Scan the USB drive and make sure it's clean
- Go to Computer and check your USB drive letter path (example F)
- Go to Start > Run > type "cmd" in the box (without quotes)
- In the command prompt type the following line:
attrib -h -r -s F:*.* /s /d
Where F can be replaced by your driver letter.
Check if it works and the folders are back to normal. If so, you can delete the shortcuts.
very nice...thanks for detailed demo....thank u very much

When insert my pendrive and open it I found only a shortcut but there are files and the kaspersky antivirus shows no virus detected !!
+Promit Dutta If you still think there are some important files or data available on this USB, then enable the following option. You can copy those files and data. Go to Tools >> Option >> Folder Permission and then go to the View tab and uncheck this option "Hide protected operating system files". In this way you can recover the data from the USB. Let me know if you still you have that issue. THanks :)

Nice presentation
alternative solution: prevention is better than cure... so to be protected at the first hand so that the virus don't affect ur pc install usb disk security, that's the prevention
now for the cure, i had tried this process on my computer and my friend too and it worked succesfully, hope it works on ur pc too guyz...
first open the infected usb drive from ur pc then select all the visible files and folders(make sure... show all hidden files is activated) then press delete button... this moves all your files to the recycle bin... then empty the recycle bin... say good bye to the shortcut virus :D this might work for sure (y).. best of luck
There is an only file in my system "wuaudt.exe" the virus could have an other name? because the direct acces that apearse take me direct to rundll32, if i erase these file can i elminate the virus?

Hi I need your help I got this virus and I deleted all the virus after restart I lost all my data but the HDD is still full I change the attribe it show all the empty folders also but I lost my data can you help me please?!
+Majid Hassanpour Go to the properties of the HDD and let me know if the file system of it changed to RAW. If yes then please visit following video : ua-cam.com/video/84Bq7J0H6dA/v-deo.html
and if no then I think you can simply enable the option "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" option from View >> Option >> Folder Option. Let me know if you are still facing the same issue.
Thanks in advance. :)
Does this virus spread from drive to pc or does it just infect the usb when inserted into the infected machine? reason i ask is because it has infected our network and i cant trace which machine has this virus. i also do not find "wuauclt" and i am using win7
Chris Gerber The virus infects every external devices connected to the machine. yes the virus also affects the machine itself. You are saying that it has affected your entire network. There are chances that one of your machines was infected by it and affected others by USB. Can you just send me the screenshot of the data available inside of one of your USB Sticks? Based on that I can identify where exactly the issue is. Looking forward to your response. Thanks :)
Chris Gerber Let me know the convenient time as per your timezone for the remote sessions so that we can try to rectify and resolve the issue.

wow great. i follow the instructions then all my files are gone. can i still recover my lost file?
+ptrck mngbn The files might not be lost from the USB still. Its just that they are hidden in the folder. Go to Tools > Folder option and under the View tab uncheck the option "Hide protected operating system files" and you will be able to see all your lost files. Let me know if that helps :)
@@TechnoMath I can't find tools in windows 7 pls help

hi! I'm using windows 8.1 and i couldn't find wuauclt.exe and there's nothing like trustedInstaller in temp folder and the windows update script is not running and there's no option like properties with it. i hope you'll help me get rid of this coz this thing is driving me crazy
update:after reading the comments, i came to know that this doesn't work with windows 8.1 so, is there any other work around for it?
Rohith Thakkallapally I also came to know that the method does not work for Windows 8.1. I am on it to make a separate video for Windows 8.1 and will update you about it. Thannks for your valuable comments and subscribe to it to get the updates. Thanks.

my device just contains "My Removable Device shortcut" and when I open that shortcut, I find my files in there.
one more thing, my system always shows me "system volume information" folder for my removable drives even when I hide "hidden folders and files" and operating system files are set to be hidden. I always have to hide this folder manually whenever I connect a removable drive.
I hope this helps
Thanks! You helped me a lot. ^ ^ +Subscribed!
