You spent all night downloading all of your favorite music or files ... and this morning, something just isn’t right. Here are 10 quick signs that you may have accidentally downloaded a virus.


1. Slower system operation

2. Downloading progress: very slow or at a complete standstill

3. Reduced memory on your machine

4. Unusual error messages (DO NOT CLICK ON THESE)

5. Your computer screen is moving things by itself or exhibits really strange activity

6. Programs or files will not open

7. Uncontrollable pop-ups that will not stop.

8. Your modem or hard drive is working overtime: An indicator of this may be the light on your broadband or external modem. Is constantly lit? You may even be able to hear your system continually working (struggling).

9. Names of files or folders have unexpectedly changed.

10. Rebooting your computer does not change anything.

Don’t panic just yet. If you have anti-virus software on your computer, sometimes it can fix the problem on its own by running a complete system scan. If nothing shows up during this scan, or the anti-virus software will not open or repair your system, consider contacting a professional for further instruction.
