VERY IMPORTANWARNING.
Please Be Extremely Careful Especially if using Internet mail such as Yahoo, Hotmail and so on. This information arrived this morning from Microsoft and Norton.Please send it to everybody you know who accesses the Internet. You may receive an apparently harmless email with a Power Point presentation "Life is beautiful. pps". 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. WE NEED TO DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO STOP THIS VIRUS . AOL has already confirmed the severity, and the antivirus Softs 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. PASS IT ON.

UOL has already confirmed its dangerousness, and the antivirus Softs are not capable of destroying it. The virus has been created by a hacker who calls himself "life owner", and who aims to destroying domestic PCs and who also fights Microsoft in court!
Thatâs why it comes disguised with extension pps. He fights in court for the Windows-XP patent.
MAKE A COPY OF THIS EMAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS.

Don't fret Velvet... your heart was in the right place... so don't worry about it!!!
JimmyG's right... I don't open any SPAM anymore, either.
But, speaking of viruses, I posted this warning yesterday and I think it bares (bears) repeating....
Virus Warning
This virus warning is genuine. There is a new virus going around, called âwork.â If you receive any sort of âworkâ at all, whether via email, internet or simply handed to you by a colleague.... DO NOT OPEN IT. This has been circulating around our building for months and those who have been tempted to open âworkâ or even look at âworkâ have found that their social life is deleted and their brain ceases to function properly. If you do encounter âworkâ via email or are faced with any âworkâ at all, then to purge the virus, send an email to your boss with the words âI've had enough of your crap... I'm off to the pub.â The âworkâ should automatically be forgotten by your brain. If you receive âworkâ in paper- document form, simply lift the document and drag the âworkâ to your garbage can. Put on your hat and coat and skip to the nearest bar with two friends and order three pints of beer (or rum punch). After repeating this action 14 times, you will find that âworkâ will no longer be of any relevance to you and that âScooby Dooâ was the greatest cartoon ever.
Send this message to everyone in your address book. If you do NOT have anyone in your address book, then I'm afraid the âworkâ virus has already corrupted your life.
It's true It's ruined my life (though I have paid my bills on occasion). !!!
