    Thumbs up How To Know If U Have Virus On Your Os?, simple follows steps

    Its something easy without antivirus

    Go to START and RUN type CMD
    Write CD.. and than enter
    again write CD.. and Enter

    now write
    CD WINDOWS and enter
    now again CD system32 and enter

    the last step is

    Write SETUP and Enter

    Wait a little bit if you dont get abox asking to move to your setup then you are infected


    NOTE :the SETUP who is inside system32 is closed if you are not infected

    it might be a tell tale for many viruses, but doubt that it is all inclusive.

    I can name several viruses that do not work this say, but I'll leave it to testers, like Eicar, to be the most important ones.
    pacman -Syyu life not found in sync db

    I haven't tested it on setup.exe but these days Windows won't allow changes to critical System files without warning the user. Hence the reason many virii create files with names similar to system files like svchosts.exe where the system file is svchost.exe.

    Personally I never came across a virus which changed or disabled the setup.exe file and I also can not think of a legitamate reason for a virus to do that. In my opinion the method described might hold true for simple virii which targeted earlier versions of Windows but surely can not be used as a reliable method to determine whether your system is infected or not.
