How to Tell If Your Computer Has A Virus
Your computer might be infected with a virus or other kinds of malware if it exhibits unusual symptoms and behaviors.
Computer Virus & Malware Symptoms
Below are common symptoms that may indicate your computer is infected with a virus:
- The computer runs more slowly than normal or takes a long time to start up.
- There are unfamiliar programs or processes running in the Task Manager.
- Your antivirus program is disabled, and you cannot run it.
- Applications on your computer don't work correctly.
If You Suspect You Have a Virus
If you suspect your computer has been infected with a virus, do the following:
- Update your virus definitions immediately. Manually run LiveUpdate to get the latest virus definition files from the vendor's web server.
- Run a full system scan. If a full system scan reports that there are no viruses, your system probably isn't infected. However, if you're still unsure check with your LSP. If you are unable to run a system scan, then you probably have some type of malware on your computer.
- Disconnect from the network if you think you have a virus.
