The question of “How can you tell if your computer is safe?” is one that needs an eloquent answer. You can tell if your computer is having trouble by checking to see if there are any viruses on the computer. Checking for viruses is just a step to see if anything is going on with your computer. By doing this it can show you if there are any other viruses and bugs on your computer. When this happens, you can look for little changes in your computer such as a whole bunch of ads popping up, computer settings changed, constant computer crashes, and everything just overall moving slow. If any of these things occur, you need to get your computer checked and see what you can do to better implement security programs on your computer. It’s always best to remember that computers can be hacked at anytime by anyone so with that being said it a computer is never truly safe, because if it were we wouldn’t have to worry about these different types of attacks and also, we wouldn’t have to buy different types of software programs to ensure the safety. Since there isn’t really a way to tell if your computer is in fact safe, it’s better to just stay on top everything that is happening with your device and make sure you have protection on it. As in do a continuous number of thorough checks to make sure that your computer isn’t being hacked or trying to get hacked.  Also, just to go the extra mile to ensure your computers safety make sure that you aren’t leaving any personal information and data on your computer that will motivate hackers to steal your personal and confidential information and sell on the internet, and possibly steal you or your family’s identity.
