Transfer of data files to new PC

Hi guys, I'm trying to shut down my old tired PC but would like to transfer a bunch of data files before retiring it. How can I insure that I won't copy a virus or some other malware that's lurking in the old files. My system comes up clean with scans but I want to be sure. My old unit is really running slow, is noisy, and isn't long for this web. Thanks in advance Jeff

Hi, if you believe that your data is harbouring infections or malicious code, despite coming up clear with the malware scans you have performed, then it might be best to visit our malware removal forum and post the required logs of your machine so that an expert malware fighter can assist you.

I hope they will be able to set your mind at rest……or get the files cleaned up if your suspicions are correct.
