Hi ahmadfauzan4

I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .

You should first run a full scan with the free version of MalwareBytes to remove the LNK virus

https://www.malwarebytes.com/

Then, that malware have reset some file associations in your registry, below are links to reg files that will reset the file associations for you, download each one, then right click the resulting reg file and select 'Merge' then confirm the merge

Then restart your PC when you are finished
