What Viruses Do

Law

At infection of the computer by a virus it is important to find out it. For this purpose it is necessary to know about the basic attributes of display of viruses. To them it is possible to attribute the following:

¨       cessation of work or wrong work of the earlier successfully functioning programs

¨       slow work of the computer

¨      impossibility of loading of operational system

¨       disappearance of files and catalogues or distortion of their contents

¨       change of date and time of updating of files

¨       change of the sizes of files

¨      unexpected substantial growth of quantity of files on a disk

¨      essential reduction of the size of free operative memory

¨      a conclusion to the screen of the unforeseen messages or images

¨      submission of unforeseen sound signals

¨       often lags and failures in work of the computer

It is necessary to note, that the set forth above phenomena unessentially cause by presence of a virus, and can be a consequence of other reasons. Correct diagnostics of a status of the computer therefore is always complicated.
