Symptoms of Infection
If your computer suddenly starts acting up and exhibiting strange behaviors, you could have a virus infection. Many of the symptoms of a virus infection are also symptoms of other problems, making it necessary to find out whether you have a virus problem or a hardware issue.

Before you begin troubleshooting hardware issues, your first step should be to rule out a computer virus. By doing so, you'll save yourself a great deal of effort. If your problem turns out to be a computer virus, you won't have to replace the hardware.
Symptoms of both Virus infections and Hardware issues include
- system slowdowns
- system reboots
- system crashes
- locked up computers
- application crashes
- random "glitches" on the display
- sound problems
- file corruption
- hard disks that refuse to boot
- disappearing partitions
If not a Virus, do you have Hardware Problems?
Other Symptoms which point primarily to computer viruses include
- strange messages
- weird text effects at the command prompt
- disappearing files
- changed file attributes (file size and time/date stamp)
- strange sounds coming from your speakers
If you computer is showing any of these warning signs, you need to run a virus scan. Even if it isn't, regular virus scans are a must. Some viruses come with "launch dates" which means you could be infected yet the virus hasn't activated yet. When it does, let the headaches begin! Instead of waiting, run a free virus scan now!
Our free scan tool will scan your computer for viruses and show you exactly how to get rid of them.

need to get rid of toron and other virus
I can only get two or three "overlays" before my computer locks up.
Hopefully, installation of your anti-virus program will solve the problem.
I need an anti-vrus and malware program for Mac OS X

Hi Brenda,
You might try iAntivirus from PC Tools. We reviewed a bunch of antivirus programs recently on Filetonic and very few are available for Mac. You can read about it here:

and
here (the official site):

Good luck! Let us know how it works out for you. I believe they have a free and paid version.
We're still reviewing antispyware programs. I'll keep an eye out for those that cover MacIntosh as well...
I have a virus and cogeco gave me your site
They keep shutting me down because of the virus-you are my last hope--if this(you) don't work I have to shut down and have it wiped clean--any advice would be welcome--do you clean viruses
thanks cindy
