E-mail systems at thousands of companies and government offices around the world were attacked by a virus called“Mellissa”that disguises itself as“important message”from a friend．
Even though there was a weekend warning, more than 50,000 companies at about 100 places around the world have been attacked by the virus, computer experts said on Monday．
The virus began to show up last Friday and spread rapidly the next first workday by making computers send off dozens of e-mails containing the virus．Although the virus had no long-lasting damage to a computer, its effects were far-reaching．
Michael Vatis, a senior US official said military and government computers were damaged, along with thousands of the other institutions systems．
The body of e-mail message says,“here is what you ask for---”once the user opens it, the virus digs into the users address book and sends out messages to the first 50 address．The reason why the virus spreads so rapidly is that you're getting it from people you know and trust．So anyone who gets an unexpected e-mail with the“Important Message”subject line is advised not to open it and to delete it immediatel．

Which of the following is the best title for this article?
I have eaten in your restaurant many times and have always been happy with the food and service．This makes what happened last Saturday even more disappointing．It was my son’s birthday so we booked a no-smoking table at your restaurant for 7∶30 p. m．We arrived on time but were told that our table was not yet ready．At 8∶00 p. m., we were given a table in the smoking section．I asked to move but I was told that there were no other tables．A lot of people were smoking so it was uncomfortable and unhealthy．
Our first waitress, Janet, was very polite and helpful．She gave us free drinks for waiting so long．Our food also came quickly and looked fresh and tasty．When my wife had eaten most of her meal, she found a dead cockroach(蟑螂)in her vegetables．She was shocked and wanted to leave．At first, the waitress told us it was a piece of garlic．When we told her that garlic does not have legs, she apologized and took the food away．
We asked for the bill, expecting not to pay for my wife’s meal．Nobody came．After 15 minutes, I asked to see the manager．The head waiter told us that you were on holiday．I complained again about the horrible cockroach．He told me Janet had finished work．He didn’t believe my story and gave me a bill for three meals．I argued with him but was force to pay．
The waitress, Janet, was always friendly, but I would like an apology from your impolite head waiter and a full refund(退款)for our meal．It cost ＄68．Until then, I will not be eating at your restaurant or recommending it to anyone．You can contact me at 742-3254 or through e-mail if you want more information．
Thank you for your attention．
Yours sincerely,
Raymond Yuen
