Reference Dialogue for Task 1-Talking about computers and security

Brian:	Pei, can you help me out here? My computer is acting very strange.
Pei:	Sure, Brian. What exactly is your computer doing?
Brian:	Well, every now and then it just stops working - the software freezes up on me.
Pei:	Have you made any changes to your system recently?
Brian:	Yes. I downloaded some funny game software.
Pei:	Was it licensed software that is authorized to be used with your existing system?
Brian:	I don't know - maybe not. Is that important?
Pei:	Definitely! If you install software that causes conflicts with your existing software, your computer may not work properly. And, because the software is unlicensed, it may contain viruses. You really need to install anti-virus software on your computer.
Brian:	I had no idea! Thanks for your help.
