| 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. |
