Ok, if this is happening when trying to access the file server from a client machine, and it is only happening with this machine, then you are probably right, it is most likely being caused by a virus infection.

Disconnect the machine from the network, make sure you have installed a good an up-to-date antirivurs, reboot the machine in safe mode, and perform a full scan.

Sometimes the only solution is a re-installation of the OS.

What happens when you double click on a folder (that looks like a shortcut) ?

Have you reported this to IT ? If you are not from IT and you are having problems accessing the file server, I think you should report this and let them fix it.

There is no ‘default’ path.

Could you please explain your problem and your environment in more detail ?

Thanks,
