Will Carbonite Internet Backup Protect My Files If My Computer Crashes?
I’m on the free 30 Day Trial, and I want to back up all of my files on Carbonite because I’m trying to remove a virus from my computer that has somehow worked it’s way into my registry and it could crash my computer to remove it. Will Carbonite work on any computer, or will I still lose my files? Also, if anyone knows anything about the RECYCLER virus, I would appreciate your help!

Carbonite of couse will backup yor files. But you can manually backup your files to flash drive or CD or DVD. The recycler virus modified autorun.inf and infects removable media so don’t use a cd or dvd (unless its rewriteable). If you use a flash drive, then backup stuff there make sure you virus scan it later.
Recycler virus removal instructions (I hope it is for yours)
1. Search for the process called CTFMON.EXE and kill it through Task Manager.
2. Search CTFMON.EXE file in the Startup menu and delete it.
3. Boot the system in safe mode and open the command prompt.
4. Disable hidden, system, and read only attributes for autorun.inf and recycled folder delete them.
5. Clean the recycle bin.
6. Repeat these steps for all the drives on your computer.
7. Open registry editor and modify the NoDriveTypeAutoRun entry with 03ffffff value after searching it in following registry folders:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARE
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWARE
8. Reboot and scan your system with latest antivirus software.
I suggest you use Acronis True Image, or if you use Windows XP Pro use the backup utility if you want, to make a full drive image. If you already have an on access scanner installed then I suggest you remove it and use Avast Free Edition 5.0. It, in my opinion and many others, it one of the greatest (after Avira’s 99.8% detection rate). Say no to drugs, also say no to AVG, McAfee Norton 2010 2009 2009, Bitdefender, Comodo, Fortinet, PC Tools, Malwarebytes, ClamWin, and A Squared.
When your computer is clean, or if you reinstalled it, IMAGE IT AT THAT MOMENT so if you get infected, just restore from that image, which rewrites the current Windows. If you do this, make sure you split your hard drive into two drives, like C: and D:.
Carbonite is being heavily advertised, but there is a problem: most folks think it can be a cure for a compromised Windows machine AFTER they have trouble.
The fact is, backups should be done when the machine is NOT infected.
Retrieving data/system files saved while in this compromised state may only re-establish the malware, and yield an unsatisfactory condition.
The malware must be removed before backup.
