Malware is designed to conflict with the normal operation of a system, affecting the overall stability and performance of your computer. Such malicious software can be spread though email attachments, downloaded files, removable media and networking devices.

Symptoms of Malware

Pop-ups and Spam – They seem harmless but it is a common behavior caused by spyware to capture personal information.

Unexplained Behavior – Viruses can cause unexplained PC behavior, including toolbars which you did not install and cannot delete, hijacked homepage and suspicious search results.
