How To Know Whether Your PC Is Affected with a Virus Or Not


Using a PC is very useful and entertaining. However, it can be so devastating when your PC get affected with virus. Viruses work in a way that is very amazing, they keep multiplying themselves as long as they exists in your PC. 

You may think of a computer virus as the human virus, they are no less different from each other only by the fact that one is a PC virus and the other is Human virus. So what are the symptoms of a virus affection in a PC? There are so many of them. Below is a highlight of the most apparent ones:


NOTE: 
When you see the below symptoms, be sure that your PC needs a virus check up:

1. when you start seeing strange folders (e.g. mylovrer,etc)
2. when icons start to disappear or your applications don't open when you click on their icons.
3. When your files like music and documents  start to turn into shortcuts
4. when you see error messages after booting your PC (e.g. "what da fuck message") or unexpected messages when using your PC
5.When your PC starts running slowly than usual
6.When programs start opening up automatically
7. When your antivirus is no where to be found
8.When you cant connect to the internet.

RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend the following; in-case you find the above symptoms:

1. Use your antivirus to make a deep scan of your PC
2. If your antivirus is automatically uninstalled then mind you start copying your important files to your partitioned drive. Please don't copy those folders and files that have been affected.
