    Very Important Warning!. NOT
    Please Be Extremely Careful especially if using internet mail. 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 " Life is beautiful. 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 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 Software's are not capable of destroying it. The virus has been created by a hacker who calls himself " life owner "PLEASE MAKE A COPY OF THIS AND SEND IT TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS and PASS IT ON IMMEDIATELY

    Benn, this is a HOAX.
    Please be very careful when posting warnings like this to ensure that they are REAL.
    This has been doing the rounds since Jan 2002!

    Yes, the "AOL has confirmed the severity" should be a clue, who are they to confirm anything? And Norton? Soo 2002 !

    Yep I missed that bit.
    AOL wouldn't know a virus if it poped up with a big banner saying "I Am A Virus", nuch less how one spreads.
    Isn't AOL the largest user installed virus in the world anyway ;)

    So, this is a hoax? For a moment I carried away because I received this from administrator and thought it would be helpful...

    Next I will double check, thank anyway..

    Hehehehe and I suppose you often have mails from admin ;)

    My e-mail system doesn't have an admin account for this very reason.
    People know that if it comes from me then its REAL and IMPORTANT.
