Viruses can be very
difficult to detect, analyze, and remove.
A few of the ways a virus can infect a computer is by contaminated media
devices, through networking sites or emails, or even as part of a program. Viruses can do many things once on the computer
such as, simply sitting there, damaging data, destroying the OS, and even
spreading to other devices.
Three symptoms of which you
may notice when your computer is infected with a virus is, programs loading
slower than normal, system randomly shutting itself down or starting up by
itself, and even strange files appearing or regular files disappearing. These
are not all of the symptoms but definitely a few key markers to keep an eye out
for.
If you notice any of
these symptoms or anything similar, it is best to take immediate action. Make sure your antivirus software is up to
date as these could have been the cause of the infection. Once your antivirus software is fully up to
date go ahead and run a full scan on the system. This scan may take some time so step away to
take a breather and get a cup of coffee to pass the time.
