1. Your computer is becoming unusually slow – Computer Viruses are also programs, but are malicious ones, and they take up a lot of space in your computers’ memory (RAM). A computer infected with a virus will also start up slower. Viruses can even upload your personal files to unknown Internet directories, which will cause your internet connection to become slow as well.

2. Windows are closing or opening unexpectedly  – Another sign that a virus has infected your computer is when windows start closing or opening unexpectedly. When you are using your computer and a window suddenly shuts down or opens up without you doing anything, then you can be 100% sure that your computer is infected with a virus.

3. Computer Freezing or Windows re-starting on its’ own – Computers infected with virus will generally freeze a lot and will also automatically re-boot Windows.

4. Your Internet data usage has increased –  Computer viruses upload / send your personal data files over the internet to computer hackers. This results in excess Internet usage. Your Internet Service Provide (ISP) may sometimes slow you down if you reach your download limit for the period. Some ISPs can detect that your computer is sending out virus infected files and can stop data being sent from it.

What is a Computer Virus? Virus is a program written to enter to your computer and damage/alter your files/data. A virus might corrupt or delete data on your computer. Viruses can also replicate themselves. A computer Virus is more dangerous than a computer worm as it makes changes or deletes your files while worms only replicates itself with out making changes to your files/data.

What is Malware? “Malware” is short for malicious software and used as a single term to refer to virus, spy ware, worm etc. Malware is designed to cause damage to a stand alone computer or a networked pc. So wherever a malware term is used it means a program which is designed to damage your computer it may be a virus, worm or Trojan.

Worms: Worms are malicious programs that make copies of themselves again and again on the local drive, network shares, etc. The only purpose of the worm is to reproduce itself again and again. It doesn’t harm any data/file on the computer. Unlike a virus, it does not need to attach itself to an existing program. Worms spread by exploiting vulnerabilities in operating systems

Spyware: – Spyware is a type of program that is installed with or without your permission on your personal computers to collect information about users, their computer or browsing habits tracks each and everything that you do without your knowledge and send it to remote user. It also can download other malicious programs from internet and install it on the computer.
