Have you heard or received an apparent harmless email with a powerpoint presentation "life is b

This information arrived this morning direct from both Microsoft and Norton.

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.'

Yes, I've heard of this virus and remembered reading about it on Snopes and the Norton Ant-virus websites. They said it is a real virus and you should not open it.
never open any office documents you get by email. office allows macros to be embedded which basically gives anyone who has a little vb experience to get complete control of your computer if you open an office document with the macro.
