1. Run a full system scan with your antivirus/anti-malware software. Many antivirus programs offer free scans that can detect and remove malicious software.
2. Check your computer for unwanted programs. Unwanted programs are often installed alongside legitimate software, so look through your list of installed programs to see if there is anything unfamiliar.
3. Watch for suspicious behavior. If your computer is running slowly or displaying strange pop-ups, it may be infected.
4. Run a malware scanner. Malware scanners, such as Malwarebytes, can detect malicious software and help you remove it.
