Answer» helpppppppppppp
My computer is acting weird of late. What I want to do is backup the data and the programs, and reinstall the operating systems and then load the data back. I am running win XP.
If I clone the HD then I run the RISK of copying the malware as WELL correct, so I guess that wont work. I just want to back up the data and programs. How do I do that?If you suspect you are infected but are going to do a CLEAN install anyways i would use an image program and burn the image to CD/DVD
Then after the clean install just remember whenever you use files from the image scan them first for malware.
I use Acronis True Image but there are others.
The other option is to TRY and clean the system first before creating a backup...for that VISIT our Virus and Spyware section and follow the instructions in the first link at the top of the page.
