All folder became shortcuts!!!

This is new kind of virus, I guess.I was infected by it too. All my folder in external hard-drive had become shortcut. I didn't know how to get my folder back that had turned to shortcut to become a folder again without loosing any files. I was searching through web, and suddenly found a strange solution, which worked nice.

Go to Start->Run ->cmd
change your directory to the affected drive or folder. i.e  H:/  and press Return/Enter.
Now write or paste this in your command prompt: attrib -r -a -s -h /s /d


After a while it'll be OK and you'll get access to your data.  But it'll be safe if you update your anti-virus and run a full check and open the drive.
Hope this will solve the problem.
