Files taking longer than usual to open can indicate a computer virus infection. Common signs include increased CPU and RAM usage, system crashes, freezes, and unusual background processes consuming resources. Viruses often corrupt file structures, exploit network vulnerabilities, and run unauthorised processes that drain computational power. Basic troubleshooting involves checking system resources, analysing recent changes, and running virus scans. Understanding the full scope of virus impacts helps identify and resolve these performance issues.
