Hello guys!
TL;DR: an USB pendrive infected me, now it creates shortcuts on usbs, also msconfig, regedit, system restore, and everything related is disabled. halp.
2 days ago, a friend of mine wanted to show me a video he was working on, so he proceeds to insert his USB pendrive, when i open it, i realize its a full USB with .inks (Shortcuts) and then i saw it was obviously infected. So i find the original video source in .Trashes/ folder, copied to my hdd, worked on it then i wanted to copy it again, and when i gave it to him, again, he sees shortcuts, then i tried with another USB pendrive, and when i open it, it starts to create shortcuts and hiding files in front of my eyes, at this point i know i was f***ed.
I start to browse for solutions online, i catch up some with msconfig and boot things, but when i try msconfig, it doesnt let me open it, its just disabled, i tried antivirus (AVAST Free, Malwarebytes safemode), it detected something in system32, rebooted, scanned, still nothing. System restore prompts up with a failure after process was successfully. I really dont know what else to do, i dont want to format yet (i dont have too much time), there should be a solution. Pleaseeee help! (Srry for my english, not my main)
