You've probably caught a rootkit. Download ComboFix, but rename it to something else before you save it to your desktop, because this type of virus will disable antivirus programs it recognizes. Nothing fancy; just rename ComboFix.exe to ZyX.exe, for example, then save it to your desktop.

Once you double-click to start ComboFix DO NOT touch the mouse or keyboard until it's completely finished. You'll know when it's done because it will automatically open a scan log, in Notepad, on your desktop. If ComboFix can't kill it from the Windows environment you'll need to burn a copy of Kaspersky's Rescue Disk 10, then boot the disk and run the Kaspersky virus scan from it's Linux environment.

Since it is only showing a link to itself, I wonder if the virus or Avast found a way to mark files on that drive as hidden?

You could try going to Folder Options and un-checking the 2 hidden file options.

Edit: just saw Bubbaleone's post. Would be a good thing to do.

Thx for the replies.

I tried malware bytes to remove the virus. It did find 3 but it didn't help much at all..also I checked cmd to see the files and this is what I found

I shall try combo fix and see if that works


EDIT 2:

Combofix did the work!!! thx a lot guys!!

download the AVG Rescue Disk, either burn it to a dvd or make a bootable usb

Make sure that you scan with another AV. Recent versions of combofix, were themselves infected with a virus.
