WARNING

Please Be Extremely Careful Especially if using internet mail such
as Yahoo, Hotmail and so on. This information arrived this morning from Microsoft and Norton.

Please send it to everybody you know who accesses the Internet.You may receive an apparently harmless email with a Power Point presentation Lifeisbeautiful.pps". If you receive it "DO NOT OPEN THE FILE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES", and delete it immediately.

If you open this file, a message will appear on your screen saying: "It is too late now, your life is no longer beautiful", subsequently you will LOSE EVERYTHING IN YOUR PC and the person who sent it to you will gain access to your name, e-mail and password.

This is a new virus which started to circulate on Saturday afternoon.

WE NEED TO DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO STOP THIS VIRUS:
AOL has already confirmed the severity, and the antivirus Softs are
not capable of destroying it. The virus has been created by a hacker who calls himself "life owner". MAIL A COPY OF THIS EMAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS

I have hotmail and Norton, and have recieved no "notices" from them.

This is a good site that's updated daily. It has a virus encyclopedia.
