To show people that they need to be very wary of callers like you who are there to do one thing and one thing only, and that is put some form of virus on their computer because it's a known fact that you should not really give your IP address to anybody, especially people you don't know. Yeah, but I've never... Yeah, but I don't need any antivirus on my computer because I already have antivirus on my computer. So why should I have to have another one? How do you know my computer then has a critical error on it if you're trying to find my IP address? Because surely you should have my IP address first to know if my...

No one ever phones anybody up to check their computer. It is a known fact that it doesn't happen. No matter what you say to me will not make me change my mind. You have more chance of getting into my computer.
