Important Virus Warning!!!!!!! (1 Viewer)

[Hutch]

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 afternoon.

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!

^^^My long post made me a minute late off the tree.
Thanks for looking out John.

I got this e-mail (the warning) a few weeks ago, and I had to check it out. I have to keep about 25 computers up and running day to day (that's my side job here at work). So I found this:

Seems like it is a fake this time around - but I always tell our people - if you don't know who it's from, and it has an attachment, just don't open it. Don't let your curiosity get the best of you.

And as I always tell people, check on this stuff before circulating. What starts out as fake, can turn into a reality by people continuing to post these false warnings. No telling whose hands the message may fall into who may turn it into a real virus.

Use the internet responsibly.

Dalton has the right idea.
