Since most malicious programs are designed to hide
themselves, detecting their existence is not always
easy. However, there are a few surefire signs that you
have been infected:
- You start getting swamped with pop-up ads that seem
to come from nowhere and constantly interrupt your
use of the computer.
- Your computer is unstable, sluggish, locks up, or
crashes frequently.
- Your web browser's home page changes on its own
and you cannot modify the settings. You may also see
toolbars on your web browser that you did not set
up.
- You get a second or third web browser popping up
behind your main browser that you didn’t open
or request.
- Mysterious files suddenly start appearing.
- Your CD drawer starts opening and closing by itself.
- You get constant runtime errors in MS Outlook/Outlook
Express.
- You find emails in your “Sent Items”
folder that you didn't send.
- Some of your files are moved or deleted or the icons
on your desktop or toolbars are blank or missing.
If you are experiencing one or more of the above when
using your computer, you are infected and should seek
help from a senior computer technician.
