Removing the shortcut virus from your flash disk

Step 1: 
Download the file "AutorunExterminator" 
Extract it --> Double-click on "AutorunExterminator" --> Plug your flash drive now. 
This will remove the autorun.inf files from drives and plug your handy drive to 
remove the autorun.inf file from it also. 

Step 2: 
Click on "Start" -->Run --> type cmd and click on OK. 
Here I assume your drive letter as G: 
Enter this command. 
attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.* 
You can copy the above command --> Right-click in the Command Prompt and 
paste it. 
Note : Replace the letter g with your drive letter. 
Now check for your files in drive. 

Step 3: 
After that, also download the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from the below link 
Update it --> Perform "Full Scan" 
Note: Default selected option is "Quick Scan".

ELSE you can use this alternative.
a.)Go to the control panel to untick “Hide protected operating system files” or simply use the search box.
b.)Navigate to “C:\Windows\System32” and manually delete regsvr (Rem: DO NOT confuse this with regsvr32)
c.)If you can't find the file in System32, then try locating it in “C:\program files”If you still cannot find it there,then try locating it in the “Processes” tab in Task Manager.
