A: do you use an anti-virus program to protect your computer?

B: yes, I do. I also use an anti-spyware program and a firewall. There are so many nasties on the internet and so many people who are trying to use the internet to hurt other users. You have to be very careful and keep you computer clean.

A: how often do you run your anti-virus program?

B: I usually run it every few days. It finds a virus about half the time.

A: which anti-virus program would you recommend?

B; how you tried this one? It's very good and you can download it for free on the internet. You can also download updates for free.

A: that sounds very good. Which website should I visit to download it?

B; just a minute… go to this one. I'll send you an email with the link in it. It only takes a few minutes to download. Then you have to go through the set up procedures. But they are not complicated.

A; what do you use your computer for?

B; I use it for several things-surfing the net, word processing and creating presentations. I don't play many games on my computer, but I do a lot of work with photographs. Using a computer program, you can edit and resize photographs. You can also make them brighter or darker and cut pieces form different photographs to create new ones.

A: computers are great, aren't they? I should download some programs and learn how to use them.
