Missing or corrupted files represent key indicators of potential virus infection. Common warning signs include unexpected file disappearances, sudden data corruption rendering files unreadable, and unauthorised modifications to existing files. Viruses can target system files by overwriting data, modifying the Windows Registry, or hijacking DLL files. Regular antivirus scans, backups, and security measures help prevent data loss. Understanding these virus mechanisms facilitates better protection against malware threats.
