GENUINE WARNING AGAINST VIRUS

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 called

'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 last Tuesday afternoon. 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'

Brief Analysis

The information in the message is false. There is not, nor has there ever been a virus like the one described in this message. The email is a hoax and should not be forwarded to others.
