I M P O R T A N T W A R N I NG ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Anyone-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 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 after-noon.
AOL has already confirmed the severity and the anti-virus 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.

Also Known As: Bug's Life
Type: Hoax


This information is a hoax and should be ignored. At least two variants
have been reported:

Sample of first hoax message:

Someone is sending out a very desirable
screen-saver, a Bug's Life - "BUGGLST.ZIP".
If you download it, you will lose
everything!!! Your hard drive will crash
and someone from the internet will get
your screen name and password! DO NOT
DOWNLOAD THIS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!
IT JUST WENT INTO circulation yesterday,
as far as we know. Please distribute/inform
this message. This is a new, very malicious
virus and not many people know about it.
This information was announced yesterday
morning from Microsoft. Please share it
with everyone that might access the Internet.

Sample of second hoax message:

Someone is sending out a very desirable
screen-saver, a Bug's Life - "BUGGLST.ZIP".
If you download it, you will lose
everything!!! Your hard drive will crash
and someone from the Internet will get your
screen name and password! DO NOT DOWNLOAD
THIS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!! IT JUST
WENT INTO circulation yesterday, as far
as we know. Please distribute this message.
This is a new, very malicious virus and not
many people know about it. This information
was announced yesterday morning from
Microsoft. Please share it with everyone
that might access the Internet. Also do
not open or even look at any mail that says
"RETURNED" OR "UNABLE TO DELIVER". This
virus will attach itself to your computer
components and render them useless.
Immediately delete mail items that say this.
AOL has said that this is a very dangerous
virus and that there is NO remedy for it
at this time. Please ignore any messages regarding this hoax and do not
pass on messages. Passing on messages about the hoax only serves to
further propagate it.
