When I open a USB on my computer it automatically makes shortcuts from the folder. I noticed some people had the same issue and the fix was by running some programs but then the logs were needed to generate a custom fix.

I did exactly as you said and I have the fixlog but I do have to mention that I had a windows blue screen at startup. Pc rebooted again and everything seemed to be fine and fixlog was created.

Explanation: USB storage devices are all the USB devices that get their own partition letter at connecting to the PC,
e.g. flash drives (thumb/pen drives, USB sticks), external HDDs, MP3/MP4 players, digital cameras,
memory cards (SD cards, Sony Memory Stick, MultiMedia Cards etc.), some mobile phones, some GPS navigation devices etc.
I also scanned the sd card of my phone where whiwh was also infected and now all my pictures, music and everything seems to be gone… any dea why or how I can get them back? :S
It says 11 GB is used. however, when is select all the files i see he says only 900Mb is selected… " show hidden folders" is on…
Now click on “Run” button. Wait for the programme completes his work.
All the tools we used should be gone.
Tool will create and open an log report (DelFix.txt) Note: The report will also be stored on C:\DelFix.txt
Ok, so yesterday I did everything as you said and the virus seemed to be gone. I could insert any usb and there wouldn’t be any shortcuts. Today, after restarting my computer, I insert an empty memory card. MCShield scans it and doesn’t find an infection. I create a new folder and 2 seconds later a shortcut of this folder appears. Avast software starts to give a message that a thread has been found and blocked. The thing is that it keeps giving this message over and over again, like the files it blocks keep being recreated after they are blocked… I reinsert the memory stick and now MCShield also finds that the card is infected.
It now even creates shortcuts to random folders on my computer… For instance the target of one shortcut folder is
" C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c start iTunesHelper.vbe&start explorer New" “folder” "(2)&exit "
It also keeps creating these trzxxx.INK files. The ones that avast keeps blocking I guess…
What do I do now?
(added an image of what the avast message keeps saying ( for action it says " moved to vault " ) for different files and the scanlog of MCShield)
