"IMPORTANT WARNING. Please Be Extremely Careful Especially if using
internet mail such as Yahoo, Hotmail and so on. 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 will 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 Softs
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 EMAIL TO ALL YOUR
FRIENDS. "
