Know the giveaway signs that your computer has malware

It’s important to be able to identify malware on your computer. The sooner you know malware is infecting your device, the faster (and more effectively) you can do something about it. Here’s a rundown of the most common symptoms:

  • Suddenly appearing desktop icons.
  • Frequent crashing.
  • Popup ads.
  • Constant browser redirection.
  • Unsolicited messages.

If any of these symptoms are occurring on your device, you likely have malware. Run a security scan and take action as soon as possible.
