There are a number of symptoms that can occur that will tell you pretty quick if you have a virus or amount where infection. Typical symptom might be that your computer is slowing down it is not running as fast as it is used to. Now, there are plenty of reasons for computer to slow down and may just need to go tune up but if you have adware or malware or a virus infection then they can slow it down too. Now, usually you are going to know right away if you had an adware infection because you will see little pop up ads coming up on your desktop. You will see ads traveling across back and forth, I mean you maybe seeing some windows open on unexpected link and that is an adware infection and you need to get rid of that right away because it can infect your PC’s performance and also as a violation of your privacy.
Another common symptom of a virus are malware infections, is all of a sudden a desktop icon might just disappear.

The common symptom in the internet browser is the browser becomes unstable, it may open up windows unexpectedly or it may go from one web address to another.
Basically if your PC starts showing strange or erratic behavior, in other words, it is doing something that it did used to do, programs do not run quite the way they used to, then you can suspect that there is some sort of malware or virus infection and the best thing to do is to immediately start scanning your computer to remove the infection that might be there.
