Virus Warning
 
Dear All,

Just in case you haven't heard already: 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
PowerPoint 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 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.

Best Regards,

John
