A trending virus is the shortcuts virus which turns your pendrive contents into shortcuts. This is no special virus and its just a script. The speciality of the virus is that, it could not be detected by any antivirus.
To solve this so-called complicated issue, we just need to be a little swift in operations..
First of all, open folder options and click on 'View' tab -> Check Show Hidden files, folders and drives.
Insert the pendrive
Open Run command and type 'cmd'.
Type the following:
attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.* (Here 'g' is the name of the drive. So you need to replace your drive index here. That is, if your pendrive is H drive, then replace 'g' with 'h')
As soon as you type that, all the hidden icons go visible.
Now open task manager and open processes tab and locate wscript.exe. End that script.
That's it. Now you are free from the virus..
Now open your pendrive and back up the content and format it.
