    Hi,

    Try running this tool, if after you still have it let us know for the next step This tool is from Microsoft and read the instructions on how to run it.

    This information written below is from CP
    What that virus actually does

    A shortcut virus (LNK virus) is one of the most common USB‑spread infections. Its behaviour is usually:

    Creates fake .lnk shortcuts on USB or external drives

    Hides your real folders and replaces them with shortcuts

    Drops a small script or executable that runs when you click the shortcut

    Tries to reinfect other drives you plug in

    Sometimes installs a simple autorun worm

    But it does NOT:

    Upload your files or photos to the internet

    Copy your personal documents

    Access your Microsoft account

    Steal passwords or banking info (unless another malware is present)
