| kyla User Info... | I got this sent to me as a warning. Here it is word for word: IMPORTANT: VIRUS ALERT Be Careful - Importance: High Be 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 e-mail with a Power Point presentation called "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 its dangerousness, and the anti-virus software are not capable of destroying it. The virus has been created by a hacker who calls himself "life owner", and who aims to destroy domestic PCs and who also fights Microsoft in court! That's why it comes disguised with extension pps. He fights in court for the Windows-XP patent. - Sat, 15 Feb 2003 5:46pm | ||
| sue | Once again this is a perpetuation of a hoax. Go here http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/life.is.beautiful.hoax.html to read about this and other hoaxs and virus's. Basically if you're worried about something check it out first, forwarding these types of things just adds to the problem. Peace - Mon, 17 Feb 2003 10:04pm | ||
