Is your computer running more slowly than usual? Does it stop responding, freeze often, or display other odd behavior? Do you have pop ups on your desktop that are not from programs you installed? Has your web browser suddenly changed and started going to different home pages? If so, then you probably have a virus!

If your computer is infected with a virus, you'll want to remove the virus as quickly as possible. For your own protection, you should shut down your computer and not use it until after the virus issues have been resolved. The sooner you shut down the computer, the less damage the virus can do and the better chance of saving any data you may have on your computer.
