If your system behaves strangly, programs freeze for no reason, you can't access certain web sites like Norton, system slow down, system restarts by itself. Odd messages appearing on the screen from time to time. When in doubt, do a virus scan.
Answer
Just like the previous answer states, there are some pretty telltale signs that your computer is infected. The best thing to lookout for is your system becoming quite sluggish. Apart from that there are some more obvious things, like constant pop-ups appearing all over your screen, or your homepage being changed without your knowledge. The inability of your antivirus to clear things it has found, is yet another thing to be on the lookout for.
Symptoms of every malicious thread is not the same. Different virus has different symptoms and functions. But in general, if you see any unexpected activity in your computer; then there is a possibility of having a virus infection. Slow system, Freezed screen, Uncertain Pop-ups and messages, Blue Screen of Death and slow performance are some of the common symptoms of a computer virus. It is important to protect your system from these malicious attacks. So, it is always recommended to a computer user to use virus protection tool (like Bitdefender, Norton, Immunet Plus, Kaspersky, Avast, Avira etc) and not to use anything that is not trusted.
