What are some signs that your computer might be infected with malware?

### REPLY:
If your computer is infected with malware, you may notice strange files or folders appearing on your system, as well as new icons or shortcuts that you didn't create. Another sign could be the presence of unknown processes running in the background or unusual network connections to suspicious IP addresses. Additionally, if your antivirus or security software is disabled or constantly reporting false positives, it could be an indication of a malware infection.
