Techno Tidbit #20: Signs Of A Virus Infection

October 18, 2014 by Jennyfer Tan Leave a Comment

Techno Tidbit #20: Your computer might be infected with a virus if it is having one or more of the following symptoms:

  • slow computer performance
  • freezing or hanging programs
  • hardware failure (ex. printer not working, cd not accessible)
  • unexpected crashing
  • missing files
  • additional unexplained files

Make sure to have a reliable anti-virus installed in your computer.  For free anti-virus, I would suggest Avast or Avira.  But if you have the budget (you can get good anti-virus software for less than $25), go for NOD32 or Kaspersky.

My overall recommendation though?  Get an Anti-virus with Internet Security, for a more robust protection.  ESET Internet Security or Kaspersky Lab are the best ones for me. (Less than $35)
