ActipaceHow do I remove a virus from my computer?
Run a full system scan with trusted security software and allow detected threats to be quarantined or removed. Follow the product's remediation instructions and restart the system if required.
How do I know if my computer has a virus?
Possible indicators include unexpected applications, browser changes, unexplained pop-ups, unusual resource usage, or security warnings. These symptoms can have other causes, so a security scan is important.
