=================================================== Please Be Extremely Careful especially if using internet mail such as Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL and so on. This information arrived this morning direct from both Microsoft and Norton. Please send it to everybody you know who has access to the Internet. You may receive an apparently harmless email with a Power Point presentation 'Life is beautiful.' 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. AOL has already confirmed the severity, and the antivirus software's are not capable of destroying it. The virus has been created by a hacker who calls himself 'life owner.' PLEASE SEND A COPY OF THIS EMAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS and ask them to PASS IT ON IMMEDIATELY |

This warning is being passed around but its just a hoax. The "Life is beautiful" power point presentation is not a virus its just what it is. Whenever you get these warning emails always goto the virus software sites to see what they are saying.... ie.. http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2002-011511-0444-99&tabid=2 or http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/life.asp or at Mcfee... http://us.mcafee.com/virusInfo/default.asp?id=description&virus_k=99307 The real purpose of these warning is to just propagate an email chain letter for no reason, and so it gets sent around with everyone panicing for no reason and just clogging up the internet main bandwidth. Its simple to do a search on these warning in google and you will see all the sites with the correct info. So stop the maddness and don't forward this warning on.... |
