Need advice on how to salvage files on a hoplessly infected computer.
Cutting to the chase, I have a machine that is infected to the point that a reformat and reload is about the only method left in getting rid of viruses. The user of this machine has irreplaceable documents of various types that will need to be salvaged. Is there any advice on how to move the important files without infecting another machine. Most of the infections seem to be isolated in files and directories that the malware has created or is where downloads go to.
Thanks.
