Yuyun Viruses or Shortcut and How Cure It

Pity my friends now, again rushing ngurusin final report, must be resigned to see the data runs out and the computer / laptop because of viruses heng yuyun or often known as shortcut. Called the shortcut because the infected folder will turn into a shortcut folder. Actually if they are diligent in updating the antivirus, that kind of data loss or computer crashes are caused by viruses not going to happen. In essence the data that have a virus yuyun / shortcut is not lost, but have been hidden by "Hide Protected Operating System Files".

Virus Characteristics
VBS virus comes with extensions different from most other vbs virus by using the extension ". Db" and ". Lnk" [shortcut], the virus disguises itself as a shortcut and the file "Thumbs.db" to trick korbanya. The technique he used that to disguise himself as a folder by using the shortcut that he has made for the virus can be executed later when the victim access files folder shortcut pseudonym.

Characteristic of the virus file:
=> Extensions. "Db" disguised as a file "Thumb.db"
=> And a shortcut file berektensi. "Lnk" used viruses to disguise himself as a folder

The files virus could we meet around the computer folder that is infected by this virus, this virus will hide all the folders are met in every drive that is his victim computer that is a way to create a shortcut similar guise that he hid the folder name , the files that he created, among others, the master file viruses "Thumb.db", "Autorun.inf" virus shortcut "Microsoft", "New Harry Potter and ..." and shortcut that he has made similar to the name of the folder that he hide.
