How to tell if you have a computer virus is relatively easy. When viewing your desktop screen and you see anything that is “driver update” or a “weirdly named web browser,” you’ve got viruses. Any pop-ups when the desktop loads are an additional indicator of computer viruses. Any program you did not install or wasn’t on the computer when “new” suggests you have viruses. Including antiviruses such as McAffee and Malware Bytes, if you didn’t put it there, then who did? The “Virus” did, that’s who! Look for programs that don’t belong on your computer and remove them! If you mistakenly remove a program you need, no worries, it can be reinstalled.
Have no fear; go to “Control Panel” and then go to “Uninstall Programs” and study the dates and company names for legitimacy. In most cases, the viruses came in at a certain date and time. Uninstall anything that doesn’t belong on the computer.
Once again, uninstall any antivirus that you didn’t install because it could be corrupt. The virus-produced ad was put there to sell you something, but the last thing you want to do is support the virus’s creators. They are not only trying to sell you something; they want your personal information as well.
The Most Common Virus Is Actually A Fake Virus
The most common virus is on-page; while logged-on to the internet, bells and whistles go off-page appear to be locked! Call Microsoft at this certain phone number, and we will help? This method is amazingly successful; I have had customers tell me nightmare stories of sending them cash and gift cards anywhere from $300 to as much as $1500.
Many customers feel embarrassed but they shouldn’t because they are a victim of a crime. The only thing they’re guilty of is being really nice, kind, and decent people.
What Is a Computer Virus?
A computer virus is a malicious software program coded to promote products, install spyware, ransomware and or do damage. All computers have programs such as Microsoft Office, Adobe Reader, or Windows 10 Operating System. These types of programs are the tools we need to get the most out of our computers. That’s why the virus downloads pretend to be those companies, because we trust brand names. A virus is a program coded and designed by criminals to do horrible things. When you hear all the different terms like Virus, spyware, malware, and ransomware, they’re all the same, a maliciously written program created to extort money. The impact can be minimal to severe because it depends on what behavior the program is coded to do.
