Here are some basic signs that your computer may display if it is infected with a virus or malware:
- Slow Performance: A sudden decrease in your computer's speed or overall performance could indicate a malware infection. If tasks that used to be quick now take a long time to complete, it may be a sign that malicious software is running in the background, consuming system resources.
- Frequent Crashes or System Errors: If your computer crashes frequently or displays frequent error messages, it could be a result of malware interfering with system processes. Malware can corrupt files, modify system settings, or cause conflicts that lead to crashes and errors.
- Unusual Pop-ups or Advertisements: Persistent pop-up windows, intrusive advertisements, or unwanted browser redirects, especially when you're not browsing suspicious websites, can indicate the presence of adware or potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) on your computer. These are often bundled with free software or downloaded unknowingly from malicious websites.
- Unauthorised Access or Account Issues: If you notice unusual activities on your accounts, such as unauthorised logins, password changes, or unfamiliar transactions, it could be a sign of malware that is designed to steal personal information or gain unauthorised access to your accounts.
- Unusual Network Activity: If your internet data usage unexpectedly increases, it could be a sign that malware is using your computer's resources to communicate with remote servers or participate in malicious activities. You may also experience a slowdown in internet speed or notice unusual network traffic.
