What To Do When You Think Your Computer Has a Cold!
|
If
your system runs slowly, crashes or freezes up, or if there are frequent
advertising pop-ups or warning messages, but you can still open and use
applications and surf the Internet, you of course should suspect that there is a
virus on your computer. If you have antivirus protection currently
installed on your system, update the virus definition library (on-line update)
and then perform a thorough scan of your hard drive. If no viruses are
detected (which does not always indicate that your system is virus free) or if
multiple viruses are detected and deleted but the symptoms are not resolved,
then you should have your system inspected by AiPC or any other qualified
computer specialist.
|
|
If you
are unable to update your antivirus definitions and/or run your antivirus
application, or cannot install a new antivirus application, then you need to
have your system immediately inspected and scanned for malware by AiPC or
any other qualified computer specialist.
|
|
If
your
Internet browser or desktop is hijacked (i.e., you have lost access to or control
of), then you need to immediately call AiPC or any other qualified computer
specialist before touching another key on your keyboard (note: do not shut down
your computer until advised on how to do so). If you cannot get hold of a
specialist immediately or do not have time to call immediately, then shut down
your system by unplugging it from the wall, power strip or surge protector, and
have your system inspected by AiPC or any other qualified specialist.
