    Previously all my files and folders in my pendrive are turned into shortcuts and i couldnt allocate any of my original files but i think they are still inside my pen drive as the free space available is still the same.

    Then i inserted my hard disk and the same happened to the files and folders in my harddisk.

    Later, i reformattd my pendrive and everything is ok already. But i couldnt reformat my hard disk because i got alots of data in it.
    Besides that, when they are infected there are several files (mpeg, and a text file named password), and i deleted them.

    I had visited the sub forum of windowsbbs in malware section but after cleaning everything. it is still the same to my files and folders.

    Hu?

    Please enter your System Details. It helps us in answering your questions!

    You mean you attached an external drive?

    If all the 'files' on the drive are 'shortcuts', where are they pointing to? Right-click the shortcut & select Properties. What's listed in Target?

    If you have infected files on your external drive, I suggest you either run a virus check on it, or better yet, format th drive & start over.

    i connect an external harddisk and it got infected.
    Few days ago, i can still access the shortcut, but now the shortcut is broken (The shortcut has being removed so this shortcut will no longer work properly.)
    It pointed to (for e.g my music folder) F:\keikox.exe Music

    In the "F:\keikox.exe Music" , i have no idea what and where is keikox.exe


    i had scanned it with avast and malware and still couldnt catch any. Sir. is there any other way? because all my reports, important informations are all inside it ...
