Viruses are incredibly small - much smaller than the smallest of bacteria, even though many millions of bacteria could fit on a pinhead. Therefore viruses can only be seen with the help of a very powerful microscope such as a scanning ellectron microscope.

Viruses can be seen by utillite scans. Advanced system care will show trojans,worns,rookits and more. Sometimes, if you have a empty disk, and it has at least 1 MB taken away, that can mean there is a virus. The most ovious way is if you see a file that says secuity command, that is a malaware virus, like trojans.
