Virus!

A

Oh great! This stupid computer froze again! That’s the third time today! Hey Samuel can you come take a look at my PC? It’s acting up again. It must have a virus or something.

B

Just give me a second, I’ll be right up.

B

I ran a virus scan on your computer and it turns out that you have a lot of infected files!

A

But I’m quite careful when I’m browsing the internet, I have no idea how I could have picked up a virus.

B

Well, you have to make sure that your anti-virus software is updated regularly; yours wasn’t up to date, that’s probably what was causing your problems.

A

Ok. Anything else?

B

Yeah, try not to kick or hit the computer!

A

Um yeah... Sorry about that.
