Internet Warning For Members of Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail, Etc...

[Diane4145]

I just rec'd this, today. Scarry stuff!

Subject: I M P O R T A N T W A R N I NG

Anyone 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 e-mail 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 anti virus 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 E-MAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND ASK THEM TO PASS IT ON, IMMEDIATELY! SUPPOSEDLY, THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED, BY SNOPES.

Those two beat me to it while I was cutting and pasting from snopes. This is a conversation I have had with my mother at least 20 times, and (I think) she finally gets it. Bookmark www.snopes.com. Every time you get an email referring to some virus, some poor individual in need, some horrible unthinkable crime, some negative information about a political candidate, corporation or celebrity, some unbelievably great deal, etc... Please, look it up before spreading it on... It takes less than a minute, and spares others (and yourself) heaps of negative energy.

(Diane, not just picking on you. This note is addressed to everyone who doesn't run a simple check, before posting scary information.)

Please add www.snopes.com to your bookmark and try using it once in a while. Just because someone includes in their email that it has been confirmed by snopes, doesn't mean anything. I checked snopes.com and it was confirmed alright -- confirmed as a hoax.

It is fairly easy to scare the bageezers out of us Americans because we like to believe the bad stuff.
