VIRUS WARNING

[DomValente]

If anyone is not yet aware, received this warning from someone who knows.

VERY IMPORTANT WARNING

Please Be Extremely Careful especially if using internet mail such asYahoo, 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.

Thanks Dom. Will watch out for it in my Hotmail.

Wish these guys would do something productive for a change - they are obviously capable :evil:

Sorry Dom but it's another hoax

Check this before starting to panic http://www.f-secure.com/hoaxes/lifepps.shtml
But it always pays to keep antivirus updated and not open items if suspicious

Sorry guys I took it in good faith

I make sure I never open anything I don't recognise. All of my mails come through Mailwasher and I study them first beofe opening the mail browser. If it is not recognised it is deleted. Not had a virus for a long time now I am glad to say. :wink:
