A compromised system often displays warning signs when malware attempts to disable security protections. Common indicators include antivirus programs suddenly shutting down, security alerts being blocked, or protection services failing to start. Malware particularly targets these defensive tools to maintain its presence on infected systems. Users may notice firewall settings changing without authorisation, scheduled scans cancelling automatically, or real-time protection becoming disabled. Understanding these warning signs helps identify and address potential infections early.
