Evidently the warning was enhanced here. Understand, this is a dangerous
virus, but it has been out for a year, and the best protection is a good
antivirus program.
From the link above, How to protect yourself...
*But the easiest way to protect yourself from this and other viruses is
the simplest: Make sure you're running an anti-virus program and make
sure it's up to date.* PCMag.com security analyst Neil J. Rubenking
agreed, stressing the importance of your own actions in keeping you safe.
"People! DO NOT click links in e-mail messages from unknown people. DO
NOT even click links in e-mail messages from your friend, since the real
source of the message might be a virus. DO keep your computer protected
with an antivirus <http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2368554,00.asp>
or a security suite <http://go.pcmag.com/securitysuites>," he wrote in
an entry on the Security Watch blog.
"That way if you click the wrong link in a fit of weakness, you'll still
be protected from whatever new threat replaces 'here you have,'" he
pointed out.

*Snopes verified. PASS IT ON !!*
*READ IMMEDIATELY (SERIOUS)*
*Anyone-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 e-mail titled **�**Here you
have it**�**If you open the file, a message will
appear on your screen saying: 'It is too late now,
your life is no longer beautiful, f*** you and
die....'
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, etc. 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'.
PLEASE SEND A COPY OF THIS E-MAIL TO ALL YOUR
FRIENDS, And ask them to PASS IT ON IMMEDIATELY!
**THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY SNOPES.**
**http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/hereyouhave.asp*
*Blessings ~ *
*Life's too short to wake up in the morning with
regrets, so . . .
Love the people who treat you right. Pray for
those who don't.*
