You can scan your system manually to check and detect viruses on your computer. Various indications suggest your system may have some Malware or virus in it. Slow processing, poor performance, hanging operations, and application crashes are some of the examples that strongly indicate Malware or viruses on your computer.
Here Are Some Steps That You Can Follow To Run A Manual Scan:
Open the antivirus software’s user interface.
Look for an option to perform a “Full Scan” or “Complete Scan.” This option will scan your entire computer, including all files, folders, and system areas.
Initiate the scanning process and stay in standby until it finishes.
The duration of the scan depends on the size of your storage and the speed of your computer.
Once the scan is complete, the antivirus software will present a report detailing the findings. This report will indicate whether any viruses, Malware, or suspicious files were detected.
Malicious programs use many disk resources, memories, and CPU. You can open the Task Manager and look for different processes using a lot of resources. To open the task manager, you can press Ctrl+Shift+Esc. It will show you a complete list of programs running on your system. If you find any program that uses a lot of resources, CPU, and memory, just right-click on the program and search online to know more about it. If you find any information related to the program on your search results, then it is surely a virus.
