HELP please! Virus Problem (Worm: Win32/Dorkbot.I)

September 28th, 2023

I have problems with my file folders. Files in my local drive seem ok, the problem seems to affect those stored in removable devices (USB/flash disk, SD, external HDD). The folders containing my files become shortcuts, and there are additional folder shortcuts created like: .Trashes. The virus seems to be a worm called: Win32/Dorkbot.I.
Some folders I am able to open, others I can’t, below error message appears:
Windows cannot find 'J:\.Trashes/b3fdadef.com'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.
While from some folders, I get redirected to the My Documents folder in my local drive.
Does this mean files in my removable device are now corrupted? Help please on how I can remove this virus and view and access my files and folders properly. I do not want to lose my files, especially those in my external HDD, which are basically all my pictures, videos and important documents.
Thank you!

install Malwarebytes and run in safe mode…also if the virus is severe …you may use a bootdisk and backup all your things in an external HDD soon….
