Tale of the Voracious Virus
Hello, Tech Support. Hello. I just purchased a computer from you. It was about three days ago. Are you having trouble setting it up, Ma'am? No, I was able to get it set up just fine. I use a computer in the office you know. But now I have a virus! Did the virus checking software that came with your computer find it? No, I found it myself. I left the computer on last night and went away for about half an hour and the virus was there when I came back. Had you downloaded any files or used a disk from somewhere else? Not at all. How did you determine there was a virus? Well, it was pretty obvious. These little bugs began to appear on the screen eating leaves. To be honest with you, I screamed when I saw them. I shut the computer off and haven't turned it back on. What you have discovered is what we call a screen saver. I assure you, those bugs that eat leaves are totally harmless, and your computer doesn't have a virus.
