They ask you to pay a large sum of money for the "fixes," and if you don't pay, they try to put syskey on your computer, which locks you out of your computer.

2) A person who lacks the language skills to communicate proficiently, but does their best to make you feel inferior to their intellect.
3) A recorded menu system that somehow manages to communicate your inferiority to its intellect.
