How can I save My HDD???

Post by thomasstuart »

Hi all,

I need to know: a system with two HDD, one with operating system and the other with my documents.
Suppose that while connected to the internet a virus is downloaded to the second hdd (i.e. the one with my docs) would it infect the other hard drive(i.e. the one with OS)
I know that the anti virus should prevent this from happening but one never knows.
Thanks guys

Depends on the type of virus, but in general viruses are very likely to spread across the entire system (all hard drives, attached usb memory sticks or hard drives) and even across networks to other local computers.

Naturally up-to-date antivirus programs will prevent the virus from spreading and most likely clean or delete the initial source file.
