Very Important Warning
 

a freind just e-mailed me this, thought i would share it :confused:


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 alre ady 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

Hovi5, just for future reference, anything which says:

'Nasty Email, bad virus, destroy everything, confirmed by *insert name of big ISP/software house/manufacturer*, send to a million people'

or similar, will be a hoax, just like this one.

Don't bother sending it to anyone else, you'll be wasting your time.

The point of these emails is to create yet more emails to slow everything down and thus becomes a virus-like thing in its own right. Its complete bollox
