How do I know if my device is infected?

The following are some common symptoms that may indicate the presence of malware on your device.

Your device starts running slower than usual. If you notice a sudden slowdown for no apparent reason, it may be due to a malware infection. As the malware takes over the processing resources of your device, less power is available for all other devices.

You notice a lack of available storage space. Many types of malware download and install other files and content onto your device. A sudden decrease in free storage may indicate that you have been infected with some malware.

Pop-ups and spam appear on your device. This is one of the strongest signs that you are experiencing a malware infection. If you are being slammed with pop-up ads or finding strange new programs on your device, then malware is likely the culprit.
