Our Computer is acting Funny - Is a Virus Infection Causing It?
"Virus Infection - Does Your Computer Have These Symptoms?"Hateful viruses cause your computer to behave in many odd ways. |
||||||||||||
Some Computer virus infection symptoms are
evident immediately after infection, but many are not.
| ||||||||||||
| If this sounds like a lot of extra foolery, you need only lose all of your files and data to a malicious worm ONCE, and you'll probably be just as cautious as we are. |
Immediate recognition of these Virus Symptoms gives you
a chance to take
action quickly when you are infected.
Computer virus symptoms:
Duplication
Many implanted viruses create multiple copies of themselves on each computer, so
that if one suspect is deleted, other hidden copies can
carry on. Anti-virus software is programmed to recognize this, and wipe
all components of a virus, including those hiding in memory.
Trojan Horse
implanted computer virus symptoms:
Some computer virus symptoms are a lot harder to spot than others. The Trojan
Horse implanted virus is usually the most difficult, and therefore the most
dangerous virus to deal with without dedicated anti-virus software.
A Trojan Horse implanted virus often leaves very little evidence that it has
infected your computer system.
But, if you know
what signs to watch for, you should be able to determine if you have a Trojan
horse implanted virus.
Look out for these unusual activities
| ►
If your files appear to be moving, changing size, or doing other
suspicious things, it's worth getting anti-virus software to check for
Trojans and open ports. The Trojan Horse implanted virus could well be the
offending computer virus infecting your computer system. ► Your computer becomes unstable ► Strange error messages pop up while you operate your computer - or while the computer is starting up ► Some computer virus symptoms may alert infected users of their presence with an on-screen message of some sort, ► Frequent lock-ups, freezing, crashing or if your computer re-starts on its own ► If you suddenly spot a dramatic decrease, or considerable slowing down of your computer terminal, it's worth scanning for viruses with your Up-to-date anti-virus program. ► Your anti-virus software is crashing or is not working correctly . ► Worsening system performance can also appear as a sudden and apparent lack of system resources or physical RAM memory, hidden or corrupt files and executables, or an unreasonable reduction in hard drive space. |
