Yes. If you transfer files containing malicious software from your old PC,
        that software will be transferred to your new PC. You should run antivirus
        and spyware protection apps at all times, especially on your old PC, before
        you select files to transfer. After you've transferred files to your new PC,
        run those apps on the new PC to make sure that no malicious software was
        transferred.
