How do I know when my computer is at risk?
If the Action Center reports an alert, or if your computer behaves
erratically, crashes unexpectedly or if some of your programs do not work
correctly, your computer may be infected by malicious software. However,
do not blame every computer problem on a virus! If you suspect your
computer is infected, the first thing to do is update, if you have not already
done so, and run your antivirus and anti-spyware software.
