I use nod32 for my clients.
The "shortcut virus" simply modifies the desktop/quick launch shortcuts and the antivirus does not fix that. Probably because it's not a virus, but some adware that you pressed OK on.

-For zero-day protection, Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit.
-For ransomware protection, Cryptoprevent.
Both have free and paid versions.

If you don't already have a deployment solution, try PDQ Deploy. Very good. Easy to use. Free and paid available.
Running MalwareBytes will tell you where infections are located, its a good idea to look into AppData Folder and check the registry.
Type %appdata% into search program and files. This will put you into the roaming folder, you will need to check in here and go back and check Local.
Run CCleaner on machines to clear up Temp folders speaking up scanning times.
Check Task Scheduler for any malicious task's running
In Regedit (REGEDIT.MSC) you need to look into
HKEK_currentuser/software
HKEY_currentuser/software/
and same again for
HKEY_localmachine
