    If the file that you’re are backing up is infected then yes, you will transfer the infection.

    So you’re still infected?

    Boot your computer into safe mode with networking. (Restart your computer and press F8 repeatedly until this window pops up. Safe mode with networking.)

    Go to the internet and go to cnet.com/downloads
    Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
    Update it and then run it.

    It’s extremely effective at finding threats! Let me know if you have any problems.

    Okay first off it is very bad to go into safemode with any sort of infection on your computer, and another bit of advice GET A FIREWALL!!!!!!!! Mcafee works great, and when searching the internet and downloading, do it as a limited account(This way nothing can be installed).
