Is Your Computer Infected with a Virus?

Even though there are many excellent antivirus programs today, there is no sure-fire thing you can do to prevent your computer from being infected with a virus. Fortunately, if you recognize the signs, then you can potentially stop the virus before it does serious damage to your computer.

It used to be very common for people to see pop-up ads while they were suffering the Internet. Most browsers today have pop-up blockers, so pop-ups are not as common today as they were in the past. If you see pop-ups on multiple sites, then this could be a sign of a badly configured browser. You could have Malware or Adware on your computer if you notice pop-ups even when you are not suffering the Internet.

A locked computer is another sign that your computer has a viral infection. You may be suffering the Internet and get a message saying that illegal activity has been detected, and you have been locked out of your computer until you pay a fine. If you get a message saying you have to pay a fine, then you should not pay it. You will not get your computer back.

If you suspect your computer has been infected by a virus, then you should contact Jexet Technologies of Chicago.
