Why you should always run your own malware scans BEFORE taking your computer to a repair shop!
As you probably know, malware infections can cause all kinds of strange problems on Windows PCs.
That’s why if your computer starts acting strange all of a sudden it could very well be infected with a virus or some other form of malware.
