1. What is a computer virus? Identifying a computer infected with a virus

A computer virus is a type of malicious software (malware) that is programmed to infiltrate, damage, and control computer devices without the user's permission. Similar to biological viruses, computer viruses have the ability to replicate and spread from one device to another through a variety of methods, including email, downloaded files, external storage devices such as USBs, or even over the Internet.

Early detection of viruses is crucial to avoid data loss or system failure. Here are some common signs of a virus infection:

· Computer is running unusually slow      

The computer takes a long time to boot.

Software and applications respond slowly or crash suddenly.

CPU or RAM is always overloaded for no apparent reason.

· Strange ads appear while browsing the web      

Pop-up ads keep popping up automatically, even when you don't have your browser open.

Browser automatically redirects to suspicious websites.

Unwanted toolbar appears on browser.

· Files spontaneously disappear or become encrypted      

Important files suddenly disappear or change to strange formats.

Cannot open some important files.

A ransom message appears asking for payment to restore data (sign of Ransomware).

· Browser opens websites of unknown origin      

When you enter a specific website address, the browser automatically redirects to other websites.

Sites containing harmful content or inappropriate advertising.

· Unusual hard drive occupancy      

Hard drive (HDD/SSD) fills up quickly without you storing any more data.

Storage space is occupied by strange files of unknown origin.

Hard drive noise increases when the computer is running.

· Strange programs start automatically when turning on the computer      

Apps or software you never installed appear.

Some suspicious processes running in Task Manager.

Friends or partners receive emails or messages containing strange links from your account.
