I just had a virus removed by a technician which required him to wipe the drive. Then he advised me to scan my backup with Norton Security.
After the scan, no virus was found. So I went ahead and installed the backup. But then I learned all my files on the backup were corrupted and useless to me and the virus is now back on the desktop. So I am wondering, if I remove and replace the hard drive, would it be safe to use the desktop as a second computer in case my new laptop computer needs repair?
