### REPLY:
When a computer is infected with malware, there are several signs that can indicate the presence of malicious software. For example, you may notice that the computer is running slower than usual, or that certain programs are taking longer to open or respond. There may also be frequent system crashes or unexpected restarts. Additionally, you may observe strange pop-up advertisements or error messages appearing on the screen. In some cases, the malware may disable the antivirus software or firewall, leaving the computer vulnerable to further attacks.
