VERY IMPORTANT WARNING

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.

According to urbanlegends.com :

Making the email rounds again, this bogus alert purporting to originate
from Microsoft and Norton Antivirus claims that a PowerPoint file titled
"Life Is Beautiful.pps" contains a destructive computer virus and
shouldn't be opened under any circumstances. Oddly enough, hundreds of
thousands of people have received this warning over the past three
years, but I have yet to hear a single report of anyone encountering the
malicious file itself. Could that be because it doesn't exist?



I add:
People need to check the validity of this stuff before forwarding it and
posting it. The majority of these warnings are pure garbage. Check the
stuff by doing an internet search or go to www.snopes.com or something.
I understand that you're trying to help, but it's so simple to verify
this stuff.

THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO. SO THAT YOU CAN COPY IT AND SEND IT TO
FAMILY AND FRIENDS. EXAMPLE: HIGHLIGHT EVERYTHING. THEN RIGHT CLICK AND
COPY. THEN COMPOSE IT TO WHO YOU WANT TO SEND IT TO. WHEN YOU COMPOSE
YOU WOULD NEED TO RIGHT CLICK AND PASTE. THEN JUST SEND IT AND FORWARD
IT IF NECESSARILY. ANY QUESTIONS JUST REPLY HERE.

I do the obvious:

I never open e-mail in my private inboxes from senders that are unknown
to me.

BAM! Problem solved...

Right on, Kat... especially with attachments!!

Uh...I'm not expert..but I do know that Hotmail scans anything for
viruses before you can DL it...

but I'm with Kat on this one...

good looks angell, I dont care what anybody sais or believes what you
are doing is just looking out and I want to say thanks

you got that right Kat...if I don't know 'em..I don't open 'em


"Uh...I'm not expert..but I do know that Hotmail scans anything for
viruses before you can DL it"..

It only works for e-mail attachments peachie, if the virus is the
general body of the e-mail, yer screwed.

animal:

was she not speaking of an attachment???

Usa is right...I went searching for one confirmed report of this virus
and no ones heard of it. And when I say searched, I mean hit up all the
usual hacker, ripper and warez sites and talked to people who do make,
handle and hunt down actual destructive viruses...Virii? Whatever...

Bottom line is this is about as real as "The Hook Handed Serial Killer",
or any other urban legend. -=x

ok!!!!!

I guess your all right. I was just concerned thats all. Just wanted the
best 4 everyone. I didn't know it was that serious...lol.

THANKS FOR THE TIP
