How To Tell If Your Computer Has A Worm?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
If you suspect your devices are infected with a computer worm, run a virus scan immediately. Even if the scan comes up negative, continue to be proactive by following these steps.
1⃣ Keep an eye on your hard drive space. When worms repeatedly replicate themselves, they start to use up the free space on your computer.
2⃣ Monitor speed and performance. Has your computer seemed a little sluggish lately? Are some of your programs crashing or not running properly? That could be a red flag that a worm is eating up your processing power.
3⃣ Be on the lookout for missing or new files. One function of a computer worm is to delete and replace files on a computer.
