Viruses are similar to other programs installed on your PC, except they are designed to perform malicious tasks. They can replicate and embed themselves in some way to ensure its survival on your machine. You might get pop-ups, fake virus removal scans showing infections, or notice your web search redirecting to odd websites. An unfortunate fact is that most of the worst viruses you won’t see any common signs at all. Some viruses hide dormant on your system, checking a server on the internet periodically waiting for a command to attack. Some may alter your system to hide all your files and make you think you have lost all your data. Others have no effect on your computer, but send spam email out using your email account to all your contacts.
