CWB Posted March 27, 2011 ID:405780 Share Posted March 27, 2011 your friend is mistaken (wrong) .the same virus and malware that can get into XP can also get into W7 .your wording is not too clear ... do you want to install W7 on the same drive as your infected XP ?having an infected drive is asking for trouble . it is like two people in the same house having the flu ... you can get infected from both .do you have files on the XP that you need to save ? any of these can be infected .if you transfer them to the new install of W7 , you can infect your new install .the best thing to do is to clean up the old infected drive/XP first (unless you do a full reformat/wipe of the drive and loose all your data/important files) .go here and follow the directions to the best of your ability ... and then start a new topic in the HJT thread :http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=9573 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefox Posted March 27, 2011 ID:405913 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Just to add, if the xp drive can see the windows 7 drive and vice versa, both drives can be infected if on drive gets or has an infection. Viruses and malware are designed to spread. Even if you do not access the other drive, the virus or malware will go looking for it on its own. Best solution is to clean the infection (or stop using the infected software). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
