How do I know when my computer is at risk?
If the Action Center reports an alert, or if your computer
behaves erratically, crashes unexpectedly or if some of your
programs do not work correctly, your computer may be
infected by malicious software. However, do not blame every
computer problem on a virus! If you suspect your computer
is infected, the first thing to do is update, if you have not
already done so, and run your antivirus and anti-spyware
software.
