Pass this on to your email buddies.

 

 

Heed the warning.

 

 

Anyone using Internet mail such as , 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 e-mail 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 E-MAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS,

And ask them to PASS IT ON IMMEDIATELY!

 

THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY SNOPES
