We can detect that a computer system is infected by viruses if we notice one or more of these symptoms-
- The speed of the processor becomes comparatively slow.
- You may get unusual messages on the screen.
- The disk drive light may constantly flash.
- The opening or closing of programs/data files takes more time.
- The programs may not run. Even if they run, they don't function properly.
- The size of the infected file increases. Thus, the available memory decreases.
- The system may frequently restart without the knowledge of the user.
- The system may not be able to read the contents of CD/DVD/Pen drive.
- The data files may corrupt or show unusual symbols/characters in place of the actual data.
