I've had a complete ar5e of a day trying to remove a trojan horse which resulted in GMER causing black screen of youcantworkanymore.
However, I've managed to use Ubuntu to grab the files I need and stick them on a USB card and transfer to a clean laptop. Now I'm trying to find reassurance in these files not carrying across the virus'.
Anyone have any ideas/experience of this?

Depends on the type of file. Text documents, no. Some word documents, possibly. Images, not that I'm aware of, executables - sure.
Hmm, ok. They're a mixture of Office 2007 files, pdfs, graphics/images, and probably other misc files. Can't think of any exe stuff.
Guess it'll help it AV on the other machine will scan USB at deepest level before transfer.
That's about your safest bet.
