Signs of a Malware Infection

Viruses usually make computers acting weird. All of a sudden, you get lots of popups, ads, or strange programs opening at startup and claiming your computer has issues

Some viruses will change your search results and direct you to nefarious websites. You might be searching for something and get completely different results after clicking links!

Others make themselves invisible and steal your banking details and logins. If you notice that your passwords no longer work, or bank statements showing suspicious transactions, it's time for a check-up!

The worst kind of virus is called ransomware. They encrypt your data and lock your computer until you pay the criminals a ransom, usually in Bitcoin. No guarantees, you are dealing with crooks after all!

Your Antivirus Might Be Failing You!

Relying on an antivirus program is usually the last layer of defence! AV-test estimates a whopping 12 million new malware variants are released every month. It is no wonder that antivirus can't keep up!

According to security researchers, it takes an average of two days for at least one antivirus scanner to detect a new malware sample. The way most antiviruses work is by updating their signatures. When a suspicious file contains code used by a known virus, the file gets flagged as malware.

A major study conducted in 2014 found that in the first hour from the release of a new malware sample, only 30% of all antiviruses identified new files as a threat. After a day, the detection rate increased to 66%. The improvement continued, and after one week 72% of the malicious database entries were labelled as a threat.

Common Ways of Getting Infected

There are countless ways computers can get infected by viruses. Most often they fall under the five categories below

  • Opening attachments or links from unknown or spoofed emails. Watch out for unusual emails urging you to open a link or take action immediately
  • Downloading software, music, and movies from malicious sites. Always go to official websites and avoid pirated and cracked content
  • Online Ads. Criminals often place clean ads on trustworthy websites and after they establish credibility and trust, replace the ads with malicious links
  • Social media. Be careful when clicking on links even if your trusted friends sent them. Their accounts might be hacked
  • Outdated software. Older versions of Microsoft Windows, Office, Adobe Acrobat and Java make the job of cybercriminals much easier!
