5 Signs You Have A Computer Virus.

Everyone that has a computer has either had a virus or still has one right now. Viruses can be the most disruptive and annoying things that have invaded your computer. They can steal your private information like passwords, documents and even use your computer for their own use. Sometimes a virus can go unknown, but other times their are signs that you have a virus. The signs would include:

1. Your computer is slower than normal- This is the first major problem that you should notice. This does not always mean you have a virus because eventually your computer will start to get slower and slower, but if it is seriously slower in a matter of minutes look into it.

2. Freezing- After your computer starts to rune slower, there should be some freezing and locking up of your computer.

3. Restarting- Restarting of your computer is another major sign of a virus infection. Your computer can either restart immediately or every couple of minutes.

4. Application do not work- Many times that virus takes the shape of one of your applications and makes it not work or it creates an unknown application that does not do anything when you click on it.

5. Continuous pop-ups- Pop-ups are another sign that a virus has invaded your system. The pop-ups that happen when you go to the Internet or some sites are normal, but the pop-ups that happen when your are just on your computer could mean that you have a virus.

These are all signs that you could have a virus, so if you have one of these signs run a virus scan to see if you do. If you do not no if you have virus protection or you do not want to pay for protection, tomorrow April 8,2009 I will post another article on how to get rid of a virus.
