*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted January 28, 2009 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BLACK DORIS 9 Report post Posted January 28, 2009 cheers!! my g4 ibook is so outdated now that even viruses avoid it this old girl just keeps goin tho! With any luck it will become an iconic kitch (sp?) item. Didn't someone use the same/similar name for a virus recently, last couple of years? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
