WE START:

Welcome to another new post. In this tutorial I will show you how you can eliminate the shortcut virus, which is characterized by creating program shortcuts on your desktop randomly. It is very annoying, and that is why today we will teach you how to eliminate it.

This virus is easily recognized by two peculiar files:

  • Driver.bat (uses a file in .js format).

But how do I know that I have this virus on my computer?

It's easy: open the Run window; Windows key and hit "Run". Inside the text box, type "msconfig", and hit Enter. If msconfig does not open, it is because the virus is blocking it, and therefore you are infected. Similarly, if it opens and suddenly closes, it is the same case.
