computer warning!!!! MUST READ
« on: November 02, 2006, 03:16:12 pm »
 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 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 ."  
 
PLEASE SEND A COPY OF THIS EMAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS and ask them to PASS IT ON IMMEDIATELY.
