    You can use these free tools to see if they find anything,
    Manually Update them before running full scans,
    Try not to use your computer while the scans are running, (one at a time of course).

    Hi. I had shortcuts on my USB. You can read more about it on the site: Remove Shortcut virus (USB pendrive virus) from infected PC . I think Malwarebytes Removal programm can also help you. It is free.
