What is the best way to get data from an infected hardrive without contaminating a clean one?

If you are able to hook the drive up to a clean system, do not run any programs that are on the infected disk. You may then be able to run a virus scan on the infected disk and clear up any virus's it contains. If you can't scan the whole disk, or the scan isn't successful in fixing or quarantining the virus, run another virus scan on the folders you need to retrieve data from. If these folders are clean, you can then drag them onto your good drive.

Who made virus?

The first virus was made in Chauburji, Lahore, Pakistan, 1986Two programmers named Basit and Amjad Farooq Alvi, .replace the executable code in the boot sector of a floppy disk with their own code designed to infect each 360kb floppy accessed on any drive. Infected floppies had " Brain" for a volume label.

What is the difference between a file virus a system sector virus and a macro virus?

File Viruses infect applications. These viruses usually infect COM and/or EXE programs, though some can infect any program for which execution or interpretation is requested, such as SYS, OVL, OBJ, PRG, MNU and BAT files. System Sector Viruses infect executable code found in certain system areas on a disk. Macro Virus a program or code segment written in the internal macro language of an application and attached to a document file (such as Word or Excel).

What type of virus was the famous Michealangelo virus?

The Michelangelo virus is a computer virus first discovered in April 1991 in New Zealand.[1] The virus was designed to infect DOS systems (but did not engage the operating system or make any OS calls; Michelangelo, like all boot sector viruses, basically operated at the BIOS level) and remained dormant until March 6, the birthday of Renaissance artist Michelangelo. There is no reference to the artist in the virus, and it is doubtful that the virus writer intended Michelangelo to be referenced to the virus. Michelangelo is a variant of the already endemic Stoned virus.On March 6, if the PC is an AT or a PS/2, the virus overwrites the first one hundred sectors of the hard disk with nulls. The virus assumes a geometry of 256 cylinders, 4 heads, 17 sectors per track. Although all the user's data would still be on the hard disk, it would be irretrievable for the average user.On hard disks, the virus moves the original master boot record to cylinder 0, head 0, sector 7.On floppy disks, if the disk is 360 KB, the virus moves the original boot sector to cylinder 0, head 1, sector 3.On other disks, the virus moves the original boot sector to cylinder 0, head 1, sector 14.This is the last directory of the 1.2 MB disks.This is the second-to-last directory of the 1.44 MB disks.The directory does not exist on 720 KB disks.Although designed to infect DOS systems, the virus can easily disrupt other operating systems installed on the system since, like many viruses, the Michelangelo infects the master boot record of ahard drive. Once a system became infected, any floppy disk inserted into the system (and written to; in 1992 a PC system could not detect that a floppy had been inserted, so the virus could not infect the floppy until some access to the disk is made) becomes immediately infected as well. And because the virus spends most of its time dormant, activating only on March 6, it is conceivable that an infected computer could go for years without detection - as long as it wasn't booted on that date after being infected.The virus first came to widespread international attention in January 1992, when it was revealed that a few computer and software manufacturers had accidentally shipped products, for example Intel'sLANSpool print server, infected with the virus. Although the infected machines numbered only in the hundreds, the resulting publicity spiraled into "expert" claims of thousands or even millions of computers infected by Michelangelo. However, on March 6, 1992, only 10,000 to 20,000 cases of data loss were reported. The news media lost interest, and the virus was quickly forgotten. Despite the scenario given above, in which an infected computer could evade detection for years, by 1997 no cases were being reported in the wild.
