Virus warning. 23/Sep/08 (Personal)

Please  Be  Extremely Careful  

Especially  if 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 email 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 antivirus  software's are not capable of destroying it. 
 
The virus has been created by a hacker who calls himself 'life owner' .
