What are some signs that indicate a computer may be infected with malware?

### REPLY:
A computer infected with malware may not show any signs or symptoms. However, if your computer starts displaying strange behaviors such as random files appearing or disappearing, personal information being stolen, or sensitive data being encrypted and held for ransom, it is likely that your computer is infected with malware. Additionally, you may notice unauthorized access to your online accounts, financial transactions being made without your consent, or your computer being used as part of a botnet network.
