Symptoms include: When google searching, I am often (not always) redirected to irrelevant sites, the computer is running extremely slowly and freezes up often, I cannot restart it unless I shut it off with the power button; I had a computer tech over to look at the computer and he thought it was fixed but needed to be rebuilt (it was built in 2007) until I showed him my banking login page that asked for my credit card and pin numbers - which my bank does not ask for.
