What should I do if my computer has been infected with malware?
- Scan your device with up-to-date Antivirus software to detect Malware. Once Malware is detected, the software should inform you what it has found and the steps to take to remove it.
- Backup your system (including personal files and applications). Should malicious software cause damage to your system, you can then restore your system.
- Change passwords, especially the ones for online banking and email accounts.
- Update your software such as your operating system and OS software.
- Restrict access to your connection, meaning turn off file sharing and printer sharing.
