In my current install of vBulletin, I am suspecting that there might be files that are security hazards/hacks left over from the old ownership. I would like to move to another server while installing the latest 3.8 fresh, so I know that none of the files are compromised. In other words, it wouldn't involve me transferring the account via cPanel and then upgrading. I'd like install all files fresh. Not sure how to approach this though.
1) Which folders would I have to copy manually? (other than templates) For instance the avatars folder would need to be copied I am assuming.
2) How should I do the installation - should I install 3.6.8PL2, transfer the database, then upgrade to 3.8?
