| How
do I know if my computer is infected by a virus?
The best way to know this is to use a good, updated
antivirus program to scan your system thoroughly.
There are other signs that can be symptomatic
of a virus infection in a computer: general slowdown,
files and/or information disappear, peripheral
devices don't function properly etc.
What can I do to protect myself against
viruses?
The solution is to install a good antivirus with
daily updates and excellent tech support services.
It is also important to be well informed about
how viruses infect and spread and to take the
precautions necessary. Measures such as not opening
suspicious e-mails, or avoiding downloading from
unsafe Internet sites, are obvious but practical
steps for keeping viruses at bay.
