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 acting¹ 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 scan² 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 prob-
        lems.

 A:    Ok. Anything else?

 B:    Yeah, try not to kick or hit the computer!

 A:     Um yeah… Sorry about that.
