Malware

Malware serves as an encompassing term which refers to Spyware, Viruses, Trojans, Worms or any other piece of malicious software.

The symptoms of malware aren't always apparent. The following is a good list of possible indications that your system might contain spyware:

  • Your computer has slowed down inexplicably

    Computers aren't like people; they don't have "off" days. Knowing this, any time your computer has perceptibly slowed down, there is more going on behind the scenes. It could be anything from a resource intensive application that is running in the background, to unwanted spyware. Take a moment to look at the programs you have running; if there isn't anything that could be causing a significant slowdown, then spyware removal might benefit you.

  • Email irregularities

    If numerous emails are bouncing back or emails are being sent without your consent, then it's possible that you have a "trojan". These are malicious programs that commandeer your computer for the purpose of using it to send more spam mail.

  • Erratic computer behaviour

    This can be a range of behaviour, from your hard disk operating while your computer is idle to more noticeable behaviour, such as increased pop-up advertising.

  • Blue screens

    Blue screens can be caused by many things, malware being one of them. Regardless of the source, blue screens indicate a larger problem at hand, and demand immediate attention to avoid losing data.

  • You have a new anti-virus system that you don't remember installing

    Lately, many viruses have begun disguising themselves as an anti-virus program, proclaiming they have found numerous viruses/trojans/etc that are seriously impacting your computer. Of course, this is all a ploy to simply get you to send the virus creators your hard-earned money. "Antivirus 360", as seen above, is one such example.
