How to Safely Recover Files from an Infected SSD?

Asked By CuriousCactus88 On

I'm looking for advice on how to handle an infected SSD after installing a suspicious program that compromised my Huawei MateBook D16 and drained a Metamask account. I've identified a svchost.bat process running in the System32 folder, which suggests a backdoor. I want to ensure a completely clean system while recovering my personal and professional files without risking reinfection. My plan is to remove the infected SSD, install a new 1 TB NVMe drive, and reinstall Windows along with security software. After that, I intend to connect the old SSD via a USB NVMe enclosure to recover only non-executable files like documents and images, and then fully wipe the old SSD. Is this procedure safe? Can I risk reinfection by plugging in the old SSD? Should I use read-only mode for mounting it? Also, could anyone recommend a reliable NVMe USB enclosure for this task?
