Very Important - NOT A JOKE


This information arrived 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

Lets run through the standard issue checklist for absolutely bollocks:

1) Ridiculous claims of devestation beyond whats even vaguely possible : Check

2) Attempt to credit the rubbish information to a credible source: Check

3) Overhyped importance of message itself: Check

4) Posted by gullable idiot who didnt even bother to look into it first : Check



Yep, all 4 classic signs of a hoax email
