Subject: New Potential Virus
Hey everyone. This was sent to me by a friend of mine. It is about a
potential virus so when you check your inboxes and see what she's
talking about, be careful.
Shawn
Please
Be Extremely Careful
Especially if using internet mail such as
Yahoo, Hot mail, 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 Tuesday afternoon.
AOL has already confirmed the severity and the anti virus software's
are not capable of destroying it...
The virus has been created by a hacker who calls himself 'life owner'
PLEASE SEND A COPY OF THIS EMAIL
TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS
and ask them to
PASS IT ON IMMEDIATELY
