Local Disk (C) - Shotcut in my (D:) Drive

[The High Seraph]

Today I checked my (D:) drive which is mainly for movie and game files and found that there is one shotcut to disk C . Is it normal that this shotcut is automatically generated in my Disk D or Virus ?

It's probably just a shortcut that you created accidentally, without realising.

There is no reason why a virus would do this.

When I entered this shortcut , it just send me to drive C . Hmm may be I am worrying too much . Thanks

That is not normal, I suggest to do full scan with an up-to-date antivirus.

Well I also do not know, but in my country that is the fact. Malware infested flashdrive often contains shortcut which is not created by user.

Yeah, it's fine. But if you want, you could also download the free version of MalwareBytes and run a scan using that. I use it along with Window Defender.

Thanks ! I will full scan with window defender first . And will take a look the one u showed me . Like u said before , it’s also possible that this shortcut could be created by myself without even noticed . But just to be sure ! Thank you all for helping me .
