Do zipped and backed up files contain virus?
My PC severely effected by malware.

I am going to reinstall OS .Before that I want to back my files using winzip and windows backup utility.

And I want to restore them back to my PC.

What precautions I have to follow?


I want to learn every aspect of security,any course for that?

These issues really annoying.
