Now keeping in mind that some malware is booby-trapped you never proceed with backups (more than one copy!) of what you can't lose.

My computer is running so slow - too many popups and I think its loaded with malware. I'm looking for ideas on the best public software to start cleaning things up but dont know where to start - end user here with no real tech skills. I've found a couple but dont know what to trust - any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
