Does my PC have a virus? 7 signs

How to recognise an infection and what to do before it gets worse.

  1. It is much slower than usual for no clear reason.
  2. Pop-ups or ads appear even with the browser closed.
  3. The browser home page or search engine changed by itself.
  4. There are programs or extensions you did not install.
  5. The fan runs loudly while the device is idle.
  6. The antivirus switches itself off or will not update.
  7. Your contacts receive strange messages from your accounts.

If you recognise two or more, disconnect the device from the internet, do not type passwords and back up what matters. A thorough clean-up usually fixes it. If you think a password was already stolen, change it from another device.
