Hi ,

EDITORIAL

Have you been subjected to virus attacks recently?

We can tell from our inbox that a number of our users are facing problems from the W32.Klez@mm worm. The scary thing about this virus is that it replicates itself by going through your address book and Inbox and sending its clones to all your friends! If you think you have been infected, you can read the MyCERT advisory here to find out how you can cure your sick computer.

Mother's Day is in the month of May. If you are having problems thinking of how to thank your mum, why not bring her out for a special dining experience this year? Add a bit of mystery and adventure by bringing her to try somewhere new and different.

foodvenue.com will be compiling a special page for you to think about bringing your mum for Mother's Day. The promotions are very up-to-date because our system allows the restaurants to update the information themselves - real time!

Check your inbox within the next couple of days. We will be sending out a special notice on this Special Day soon.
