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 P ower 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,

Hey you live and learn as they say! Everyone gets a bit of a scare when they recieve thier first email like this, and it shows 1_eye's character that he chose to post it here for his friends..
The simple rule is that ANY email which suggests forwarding of any sort is chain mail, and, effectively, a virus itself (the idea being that the volume of email traffic will crash the servers, unlikely these days but very possible in the 80's!)
Think of it like snailmail, would you go out and buy loads of envelopes for and copy a letter you got then post it to all your friends?
Just delete and forget.
