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 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 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 Software's 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
and PASS IT ON IMMEDIATELY
