So is my computer infected? How can I tell?
1 – Your computer is running unusually poorly or your internet connection seems to be significantly slower than normal.
2 – You get pop-ups with advertising while you are browsing the web, and sometimes even if you don’t have a web browser open.
3 – Your web browser constantly redirects you to sites that look like spam or advertising, while common and legitimate search portals like Google or Bing are replaced with malicious search portals.
4 – While browsing, the browser behaves oddly, such as words on web pages suddenly turning into links for advertising.
5 – You suspect that your identity has been stolen or you notice fraudulent charges on your credit cards.
6 – Your friends report getting strange emails from you that you that you don’t remember sending.
7 – Your computer becomes unusable or you can’t access your programs, or your icons get replaced with junk you didn’t even install.
If you suspect you have a malware infection on your computer, don’t panic. First, disconnect your computer from the internet so that no more of your information can be stolen. Then, bring it by A1.
