Is it a desktop, or a laptop?

Can you get to the folder where to pictures are located?

 

[nevermind1534]

If you can get to the folder, the easiest way would be to just buy and use a flash drive.

i cant get to the folder, the computer is criplled i think and it is a desktop

you could pull the hard drive out and plug it into a working computer to transfer your files.

virus will be tranferred

It won't be booting from the infected drive. As long as you don't transfer any infected files, it should be fine.
