How to make up data easier ?

[Guest]

My computer inflected by virus recently : Trojan Horse downloader, Trojan
Dropper etc although I have anti-virus programe installed. Now most virus
clean but some keep coming back once connected with internet, therefore I
think I should perfom a destructive System Recovery , before that I must save
all my .zip and .exe program , photos, documents, stationary etc, it will
take me 15-20 CD-Rom and ?hours ? I'm not sure I have time to save all work
before it get more serious. Anyone can tell me that is there any better way
to backup data ? My hard drive C have 108GB of space ; I use 22.7GB already
and hard drive D have 3.61Gb
and 2.89 used.

I am not that familiar of computer and English. Hopefully someone can tell
me what to do and how to do step by step. Thanks.

If it were MY computer, I would copy the 2.89Gb from the D drive to the C drive.
Then I would get a new 60 or 80 Gb drive and install it in place of the small D drive.
Then I would copy the files from the C drive to the new D drive, remove it for safekeeping, then
format the C drive and do a clean install Windows.
