Default New Virus Going Around.

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 onYour screen saying: 'It is too late now, your life is no longerBeautiful.' Subsequently you will LOSE EVERYTHING IN YOUR PCAnd 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 theAntivirus software's are not capable of destroying it. The virus has been created by a hacker who callsHimself 'life owner.'

why do people do this there is also one going round facebook where you get a message that says something like is this you in this pic/video and if you click it you end up with a trojan on your comp (its the same type that went round msn few months back when it did get me took ages to get it off my comp)

A lot of these virus warnings that go around are virus-like also. This one looks like a hoax - http://www.hoax-slayer.com/life-is-b...irus-hoax.html

I get loads warning people not to add certain people as friends as they are hackers.

They are usually hoaxes

It is best to check up with Snopes first

Do you know, I live for the day when they produce a virus that targets macs, just to wipe the smug expression off of their faces.
