  Hi,

   

  How do you know that you have a virus?

  Hello Eugen, it is sometimes difficult to tell if your computer has a virus but some of the common symptoms are poor performance, long boot up and shutdown times, pop up ads on your desktop, browser redirection or unexplained network traffic. The problem with some of these symptoms is that they could be the result of other issues which are not virus related. The best way to know is to have a good antivirus program installed.

  And yes not all antivirus programs will detect all the virus's of another one. Ive had a trojan that only "spysweeper" would detect. I had too buy the program inorder too end a 3 day ordeal of removing it.
