What are some common signs that indicate a computer may be infected with malware?
Some common signs of a malware infection include slow computer performance, unexpected pop-up ads, frequent crashes or freezes, unauthorized changes to browser settings, and a sudden decrease in available storage space.
When a computer is infected with malware, it can lead to various symptoms such as banking details being stolen, personal information being compromised, or even remote control of the infected system by the attacker. The malware may also create backdoors, allowing the attacker to gain full control over the compromised computer and use it for illegal activities such as launching DDoS attacks or distributing spam emails.
