Even more alarming is Webroot’s statistics showing that 31 percent of consumers’ PCs are infected with Trojan Horse programs that are commonly used to silently steal the identity of the user. A computer will oftentimes exhibit strange behaviors, such as long start-up times, slow performance or frequent crashes, when it is infected with malware, But some of the latest infections are so sophisticated that there are no obvious signs to the user that they are infected. By checking the number of running processes in the bottom right corner of the Task Manager (CTRL + ALT + Delete), you can see how many processes the PC is currently running. Additionally, making sure the latest anti-virus and anti-spyware software and security patches are on the system is essential to operating a safe computer. Thieves are always finding new ways to steal information, so it is really important to have the most up-to-date software available and trusted resources to help keep consumers up to speed on the latest threats.
