Just then, their friend, Rachel, walked into the room. She was a tech-savvy person who had a knack for finding creative solutions. Alex showed her the frozen computer screen and explained the situation.
Alex looked concerned. "What can I do now?"
Determined to find a way, Alex started scouring the internet for a solution. They stumbled upon a website that claimed to offer the latest version of Proteus with a cracked download. The website seemed shady, but Alex was desperate to get started with their project.
As they clicked on the download link, their computer suddenly froze. A warning message popped up, alerting them to a potential virus. Alex's heart sank, realizing they might have made a mistake.
