Does your Computer have a Virus? Computer-wiz Can Help!
10 ways to tell that your computer may be infected with a virus:
1. Slow computer: Sometimes, this may appear normal especially if you are working on databases and other process-intensive work. But if this is not the case, and the computer is still often running slower than usual, taking a long time to power up or open apps, it could be a sign that there is a virus on your computer.
2. Missing or corrupted files: If you notice a program that you often use suddenly showing a pop-up window or error message relating to missing files, it could be a possible sign of corruption, and most probably caused by malware.
3. Frequent system crashes or blue screen of death
4. New applications or process: Unfamiliar applications or processes appearing on the background.
5. Unexpected pop-up windows: Ads or error messages appearing on the screen.
6. Overworked hard drive: Viruses often damage your hard drive, causing you to hear some strange sounds. It will most likely sound like the hard drive is working extra hard or its fan is making whirring noises.
7. Spam emails: Emails sent automatically from your account without your permission.
8. Browser redirects
9. Disk is full: Some viruses leave a copy of themselves and create duplicates of system files that fill up your disk space.
10. Inability to download antivirus program updates or a malfunctioning firewall
