What is Malware?
Malware is a catch-all name for viruses, spyware, worms, trojan horses, and other unwanted software that installs itself on your computer.
Malware can corrupt your files, delete your information, slow down your computer, and even steal your personal or credit card information.
Am I Infected with Malware?
There are a few ways to tell if you're infected with malware:
- Your computer is significantly slower than when you purchased it.
- Pop-up advertisements show up, even when you're not browsing the internet.
- Unknown anti-virus programs appear, sometimes asking you to purchase the software.
- When searching the internet, you're re-directed to websites that are mostly advertisement.
It's important to note that you may be infected with malware even if the symptoms above are not present.
