Shorcut virus- location: cmd(C:window\system32)

Hello, good day may someone help me about my problem about reappearing shortcuts. when i search for its file location it tends to lead me to cmd C:windo\system32

please help me i dont know what to do about this. thank you!

Download MCShield to your desktop and install
It will initially run a scan and show the result as a toaster by the system clock
Then in the control centre select scanner and tick unhide items on flash drives

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/73555776/mcshield%20unhide.JPG

Plug in the drive and McShield will start a scan

Then get the log which will be located under the logs tab on the main page

And post that

THEN

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

[*]Right click to run as administrator (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
[*]Select additions at the bottom
[*]Press Scan button.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/frst.JPG

[*]It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from.
[*]Please attach both logs generated.

sir i tried to install avastfree anti-virus and it start to scan my laptop. it identified the virus as LNK [trj] something like this.

after restarting my laptop due to the process of the FRST64 tons of pop-ups with the said “LNK [trj]” scanned by avast.

OK lets look deeper

Download and Install Combofix

Download ComboFix from one of the following locations:
Link 1
Link 2

VERY IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop

  • IMPORTANT - Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. If you have difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, refer to this link here

[*]Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.

[*]When finished, it shall produce a log for you.
[*]Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.

Notes:

  1. Do not mouse-click Combofix’s window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
  2. Do not “re-run” Combofix. If you have a problem, reply back for further instructions.
  3. If after the reboot you get errors about programmes being marked for deletion then reboot, that will cure it.

Please make sure you include the combo fix log in your next reply as well as describe how your computer is running now

sir i use the combofix.exe but i thought that i disable my avast AV but didn’t. so a message pop out by the combofix.exe that i must disable the AV. i tried to uninstall the AV not knowing that there was a disable option to it. my laptop goes to blue screen and i had to restart my laptop. i didnt run the combofix.exe due to your direction. so i’m sending this message what will i do now sir? sorry for my bad grammar and my ignorance to this process. thank you.

No problem :slight_smile:

Run Combofix again generally Avast will allow if to run

No reboot and let me know what problems remain
