Help Needed, With Game Save

[Yuzu]

Hello,

Am About to format my PC due to hacking and viruse, i wanted to ask i will lose my save date for skyrim? or should i back up some files ?


please your help asap

You should definitely back up. If you are going to format your system then you will lose everything on your HD. When you back up make sure you don't backup any viruses or malware with it. If you have a security program, which you should have, then do a complete scan. You should be safe to back up your save files from Skyrim to a separate backup source.

You say you're doing this because of viruses. Unfortunately, viruses may have gotten into your game files as well, so backing them up, if that has happened, will only bring the viruses to your newly reformatted pc. Backups are something we all should be doing on a regular basis, not just as an afterthought. Not saying we don't, not saying you haven't. Just trying to be constructive. I hope that isn't the case, so good luck.

i dont mind to download the game again, but the save files will be easyer to scan and remove from viruse...
