How To Determine If Your Computer Is Infected With Malware?

How to spot or determine if your computer is infected with malware? 
Simple. If you notice one or some of these security warning signs on your system, then your computer may have been compromised.

1. Popup ads
When these ads appear even if you did not open your installed browser, your computer has been bombarded with adware programs. How did you get them? You may have obtained them from legitimate products or malicious websites that drop malware on your computer.

2. You are being redirected to another site. 
If you are trying to visit Google and your browser takes you to an unfamiliar site, then your computer is most likely infected with malware. Sometimes the redirection is obvious while other times it is not. For instance, you may be visiting your bank's site but your browser has redirected you to a fraudulent site that looks exactly like your bank's official website. How to know if you are visiting the real site? You must check the URL in the address bar. It must contain https.

3. Fake posts on your social media accounts
This is another way on how to determine if your computer has malware. If you notice that you have posts that you did not write, then your computer is more likely infected.

4. Common system tools are no longer accessible. 
Your computer is infected if the common system tools that let you check the presence of malware are disabled.

So, how to remove malware from your computer?
You must install a powerful anti-virus program on your computer. If you already got one and the malware past its protection, then you must obtain more powerful program.
