Hello,
Following the use of my USB drive on one of the computers at a library, my drive got infected with the junk mentioned in the title as well as "VBS/Autorun.AH".
It was my antivirus (Avira Antivirus Pro) that detected and eliminated these two things, but all the folders on my drive have been replaced by suspicious shortcuts.
Is there a way to recover the folders and files that are on my drive and restore it to its original state without reformatting?
A friend told me that with certain viruses, reformatting the drive is not enough to make it work normally again.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello,
see the sheet for this infection Worm:VBS/Jenxcus!lnk

Your infection is therefore an infection that spreads through removable drives (USB sticks, external hard drives, flash cards, etc.).
The removable drives you inserted into the computer when it was infected have been infected in turn.
Simply opening 'My Computer' and double-clicking on your USB stick/external hard drive will reinfect your system.
You will find an explanatory link about the propagation of these infections, how to protect against them, etc... from these links:

You now need to clean your USB sticks/external hard drives
Follow the tutorial carefully in order: insert your USB sticks and external hard drive that you have to clean.
Post the reports on http://pjjoint.malekal.com and provide the addresses.
Plug in all your USB sticks and other removable devices.

Run option B.
Type the letter of the USB stick, for example, E and press enter - DO NOT SPECIFY THE DRIVE OF YOUR DISK.
This will clean the USB stick.
Similarly, open My Computer then drive C, a Rem-VBS.log report should be there, provide the content here.
Like the angel you are, you laugh creating a lightness in my chest,
Your eyes they penetrate me,
(Your answer's always 'maybe')
That's when I got up and left
