Techno Tidbit #20: Signs Of A Virus Infection

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)
