Well, yeah - of course if you image or otherwise completely back up an
infected system the image or backup is infected! And honestly, most end
users know that. My clients are home users and small businesses and even
the most computer unsavvy of the lot ask me to make sure their data isn't
infected before it goes back onto a clean machine. I assure them it will be
carefully scanned first. People who are technically adept enough to image
know to make a new image of the clean system! Or if we are talking about my
clients, I do it for them.
I'm not sure why we're having this discussion. Did you have a question? If
yes, then please make a new post with all pertinent technical details
included. Otherwise, this is an old, closed thread and I'm moving on.
