My computer was infected with a virus, i have the files saved my question is when i go back and re install the programs current and previous years will it still be the same as for as all my info saved.....like the EIN, and the files etc
renee, if I understand your question correctly ("Will my backup files be contaminated when I reinstall them to my cleaned-up computer?"), there is really no way to tell until you do it. Just be SURE to back up your back up files before you try to reinstall them, preferably to an offsite backup service, such as Carbonite.
If you restore a backup of the program and client files it will be the same. If you reinstall the software and then restore your client files, you will have to enter your company information (EIN, etc) again.
where would i find these 3 folders data directory, common and home base
Click on my computer > local disk (or wherever your ProSeries is installed) > ProWin09 (or whatever year you are looking for). You should be able to see the files once you click on the ProWin file.
