Since most malicious programs are designed to hide themselves, detecting their existence is not always easy. However, there are a few surefire signs that you have been infected:
1 - You start getting swamped with pop-up ads that seem to come from nowhere and constantly interrupt your use of the computer.
2 - Your computer is unstable, sluggish, locks up, or crashes frequently.
3 - Your web browser's home page changes on its own and you cannot modify the settings. You may also see toolbars on your web browser that you did not set up.
4 - You get a second or third web browser popping up behind your main browser that you didn’t open or request.
5 - Mysterious files suddenly start appearing.
6 - Your CD drawer starts opening and closing by itself.
7 - You get constant runtime errors in Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express.
8 - You find emails in your "Sent Items" folder that you didn't send.
