You may notice when you get a brand new PC fresh out of the box it whizzes around like a top; flinging windows here and there, only taking seconds to complete the most complicated tasks.

Then, one day you may start to notice it doesn’t have the zing it once did, and:

• The PC takes longer to start.
• Programs take longer to open.
• Error messages start to pop-up and say you have missing or corrupt files.
• Your screen flickers and your desktop Icons disappear and reappear frequently 
• You recieve error messages that state you need to buy or install software to fix problems in your computer

This is about the time most people go to their CD collection and dig out the reformat or recovery CD. They toss it in the CD drive and minutes later their computer is back to the way it was when they first bought it.  Many people do this and lose ALL their data… this is unnecessary most of the time! It really does pain me to think of how many people go through this process everyday.

These can be Computer Virus Symptoms, and a sign that you have a sick computer. There are several things you can do for free before you go about spending a bunch of money on a technician that may just end up giving you a clean bill of health. The first things you will want to determine are:

• When did this first occur? Perhaps the problems started after you added a new printer or other hardware device. You could try unplugging or uninstaling this first before having a tech come onsite to charge you for an hour of doing this themselves.
• How long have you had the problem? If the problem has existed for a long time you may just need a tune up.  Yes, computer can slow down the longer that you own them – but they don’t get slow because of old age like people, they usually get slow because you have not maintained it properly.
• If you are getting messages, are they trying to sell you something? If so, this is a good indication you have been infected with some type of malware or spyware. in this case, you may want to run a free antivirus scan, and a free spyware scan to see if that will fix the problem.

You can run a free antivirus scan at one of the following sites to determine if in fact your symptoms are actually an indication that you are infected with a virus:
