There is no universal symptom of a computer virus. In fact, like some real life diseases, some computer viruses can have no symptoms. They can be triggered by a date or other stimulus. A good way to picture computer viruses are like a moving target. They leave a wake of damage in a computer and/or a network. Are computer viruses really that dangerous? Even a virus that merely copies a message to your system has the capability of corrupting files including system files that can make your computer stop functioning. You want to remove a computer virus as quickly as possible. In the long run, there really is no such thing as a “harmless” computer virus.

We’re often asked by some of our customers: ‘My computer is running slowly; do I have a computer virus?’ While there are no universal symptoms of a virus, there are some signs that may indicate your computer is infected. One sign of a computer virus is if your computer slows down significantly. While this symptom may be other things such as system errors or operating system decay, it can also be a sign that you have a virus. Some computer viruses are self-replicating. In other words they copy themselves, so what starts as one file ends up being hundreds or even thousands.

Computer Virus Removal: Make Your Computer Healthy Again

A lot of times, particularly in an older computer system, people think that any performance issues are due to the age of the equipment. It can be that, however, there is more than a good chance you have a computer virus. Often times, when your computer is infected, it acts almost as if it is possessed. Weird error messages, drives disappearing, network connections dropping for no reason, and other things may be even more signs of viruses.

Doesn’t antivirus software stop computer viruses? Yes and no. Virus software is only as good as your last software update. If you run a virus scan on your system using an older database, it is possible that it can miss something, as the next portion of this article will cover. It is also a sad truth that not all infections can be stopped by the antivirus programs. So remember, get computer virus removal as soon as possible and keep your system running well and safe.
