“ Bill: They're all well saved in my laptop. ”
“ Eason: The most destructive computer virus is coming! Hahaha... ”
“ Bill: Forewarned is forearmed! ”
“ Bill: You evil hacker! Luckily I got the powerful anti-virus software! ”

■English highway﹕Who's and whose
Who's and whose may sound the same, but they carry different meanings. "Who's" is the short form of "who is" or "who has", and "whose" is used in questions asking who something belongs to.
e.g. Who's hungry?
Do you know whose book this is?
