VERY IMPORTANT WARNING - VIRUS

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
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 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."
