If you have noticed that your PC runs more slowly than it used to before and that sometimes, it freezes and takes more time for pages to load when you open a browser, chances are that your PC is infected with a Virus any. There are many potential of viruses out there that can infect your PC in many forms. There are spyware and a horse Trojans, Stealth viruses and same key logging of virus that can record everything that you input and type in your PC. more specifically, cards, passwords, and accounts credit information.
One of the best ways to view if your computer has been infected is by simultaneously pressing CTRL, ALT &. This will bring up the "window of the Task Manager". On the right side of your PC or laptop, where is the clock, you'll notice a new area of little. You place your mouse over it and it will show the amount of CPU utilization used by your PC and you can run programs. If this box is completely green, or at least 50% or more, it means that you can have programs that run in the background as hidden virus taking that of memory. You need to hit start, run, and in the box that appears, you will need to enter "msconfig" without the quotation marks. Once you are there you will see a box and here you select ' boot. Then, you will see all the programs that launch every time that your computer is started. This is the most likely place for a virus is hidden in. Viruses mimic the names of actual programs and usually name themselves something that resembles a real component legitimate so that you will be not able to say. If you notice that the programs as the Publisher of the Windows registry, Msconfig and firewall or all antivirus programs that you are loading whenever your computer is started, chances are that your PC is infected.
There are free online scanners to help you verify if your computer is infected, but you must be careful who you choose since they can come up with a virus or a Trojan horse. (Virus Trojan horse hiding in a real program)
I recommend anyone downloading or installing programs unless you have a very good antiviru program running to help protect you before hand, including a firewall.
It is that I started using an anti-virus program on my laptop that I noticed how many need access programs when install you them in the first place. Most of the programs, especially malicious ones must have access to the internet and want to change the physical memory of your PC, log the keys each gesture and accident stroke make you, the pages you visit and so on. A feature that I found very useful in this program is one that allows me to choose exactly how much access to allow all programs running on my computer to have. You will be also notified the minute that you visit a site that may be harmful for your PC or you and any time a program tries to modify your computer settings.
Finally, you can also use this program to detect, remove and remove any viruses or malicious software, your computer may already be infected.
With so many of the threats that we face on the Internet each day you must of course that your PC or laptop is protected. Without a very good program to do this, you are leaving a wide open door to all your daily activities and your personal information online.
