Elementary - Virus! (B0007)
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.
