fix folders to shortcut virus
Posted: Mon Aug 01, 2011 6:46 pm
it's simple enough to run:
where [z] is your hard drive letter [c][d][e][f]....[z] etc
when you have [system volume information] errors and [MountPointManagerRemoteDatabase] folder access denied error, you can be sneaky, as all your folders will only be 1/2 fixed and running into those above folders will break the simple repair.
What I did was make a new folder with five underscores _____ {_+_+_+_+_}
then i opened explorer, and opened the drive with the plus icon, and then I could see all the other folders. One by one I dragged them into the _____ folder, and then looked at the bad main folder with the shortcuts made by the virus. on the right hand pane, I just highlighted all of the 'shortcuts' and then pressed delete. then I went to the _____ folder, and selected them all and dragged them into the main folder of the drive.
remember, this could be a virus doing this on your main system. COMBOFIX removes this virus:
