E Mail Virus

Hi All, 

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 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 anti virus software ' s are not  capable of destroyin 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

This is a Hoax.  Don't forward such messages to any of your friends, they are used to feed spammers with the email ids.

If you had bothered to check the truth of this before posting, then you would have found out that this is just another HOAX.

Check this site :

http://www.hoax-slay...

Where it says the following:

There are several variants of the hoax, including versions in Chinese, French, Spanish, Italian and several other languages. The message tries to add authority to its claims by mentioning high-profile companies such as Microsoft and AOL. Incidentally, Microsoft does not send out unsolicited virus warnings. Moreover, "Norton" is the name given to a range of security software products sold by Symantec Corp. Thus, information about virus threats is published by "Symantec", not "Norton". In this case, Symantec has published information about the "Life is beautiful" message - but only to denounce it as a hoax.

This hoax started circulating in early 2002 and it has been passed around ever since. In spite of a great deal of online exposure, the hoax tends to resurge from time to time and its rate of circulation increases dramatically for a few months. As hoax emails go, this is one of the most "successful". Perhaps because of the apparent destructiveness of the "virus" and the urgent tone of the warning, people are apt to forward the message without much forethought. Like many other hoaxes, it capitalizes on the recipient's desire to help other Internet users by warning them of a perceived threat.
