How to know if you have a computer virus



di

It depends upon the type of virus:

For Malware:

  1. Your computer takes much time in starting up.
  2. Even after starting computer you realize that computer is freezing a lot or at least it is slower than it should be.
  3. Your computer will experience BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) where your computer will crash and restart.
  4. You see annoying Ads on your desktop and on your web browser.
  5. Your Antivirus software goes inactive or disappears.
  6. You see, often, unknown tab openings and unknown site access without your access.
  7. Unknown apps in Task manager
  8. Unknown programs in folders, especially without icons.
  9. A lot of random activities on your desktop.
  10. Change in folder options.
  11. High network activity even if you are not doing anything.

For Spyware:

  1. Hard to say, not much, you might feel computer slowdown or not. Lo spyware non causa alcuna distruzione, raccoglie solo i tuoi dati personali e li invia al suo host (creatore di virus).

Per il Ransomware:

  1. Tutti i tuoi file sono criptati (ciò significa che non puoi accedervi). Vedi una finestra dell'app che dice che se non paghi la somma prescritta i tuoi file saranno cancellati e ci sarà un timer per il conto alla rovescia che è l'ultimatum che ti viene dato.
