Below are the common signs of malware infection in your system.  However many malware are different and they operate without alerting you with their presence. They lead to many internet threats like credit card fraud and identity theft. If you are infected by malware the first thing you should do is Run Full system scan.

 

Unusually high network

 

There are cases where the user is not connected to the Internet through browser, and there is no program that connects to online servers to download or upload data but high network activity can still be observed.

 

 First of all, we need to check the following

 

  • ·       Is there any windows update at that moment?
  • ·       Is there any program or application that’s downloading or uploading
  • ·       Is there any update for a certain app running at that moment?
  • ·       Is there a large download that you started and forgot about

 

 

New browser homepage, new tool bars

 

·       Have you noticed that your home page has been changed and you don’t remember you have changed it yourself?

·        A new toolbar pop out of nowhere and landed at top of your web browser?

·       You tried to access your favorite blog, but you were redirected to a different address?

This often happens when you visit a website and you accidentally click a link or a pop-up window. This triggers unwanted software to download and install on your device. Its repercurssions are not only annoying, but also malicious.

 

Run a complete scan with your security solution as soon as it is possible. Because these type of threats don’t go away easily. Make sure you run additional scans with specialized software, such as anti-spyware programs as the ones mentioned above.

 

                    

 Unusual messages or program

 

A few warning signs make you doubtful. If any of these happen, pay closer attention and try finding the cause

 

·       If you notice strange windows in the booting process

 

·       If Windows informs you that you’ve lost access to some of your drives.

·       Though the root cause may be a technical one, it could also be a sign that malware has compromised your system

 

 

Your security system disabled

 

If antivirus solution doesn’t seem to work or if the update module seems to be disabled, then check to see what happened immediately!

 

You should know that some types of malware are especially designed to disable security solutions, leaving you without any defense.

 

If you already tried to reboot your computer, close and open the security solution and all your troubleshooting efforts were useless, you could consider the malware infection scenario.
