How do I know if I have a computer virus?

Unless you have antivirus software installed on your computer, you simply won't be able to know if it has been infected. In many cases, a virus can slow your computer's processor or trigger other unusual behavior; however, these symptoms can also be caused by a number of unrelated reasons.

Keep up-to-date with the latest virus definitions by regularly visiting your antivirus software vendor's Web site to download them, or by running scheduled updates to your antivirus software. Only then will your software be able to recognize the latest identified threats.

Absolute Internet offers server side email scanning so that viruses are detected and eliminated before they reach your computer! We update our software regularly, to ensure that we can protect against the newest viruses. Since virus infections can originate from other sources, it's still a good idea to run desktop antivirus software, but utilizing Absolute Internet's server side virus scanning will eliminate the most likely source of infection before it has a chance to reach you. Call: 768-1861 for more information.
