Most viruses don't live in those places, they like to hide in user settings files or in the Windows directory. My suggestion would be to spend a few dollars and get a new hard drive, install new Windows on that, and copy the Desktop, My Documents and Favorites from your profule on the old drive. If you can't find any way of cleaning out the virus (check the sticky post on these forums), then you need to do a clean setup of Windows, which is not called a "clone". ![]() You are correct, if you clone the drive now, you will also take the virus with you. ![]() Well, if i can explain a bit more, It started when I got a virus and my friend suggested I do a clone, format HDD then reinstall.ġ) I cant figure out how that works when surely it would take virus too!?Ģ) when I was researching this, I came across that I may have to reinstall all drivers and maybe even office, work etc.
