Warning on an email going around on the internet

[My_Baby_Loves_Me]

Warning this email going around on the internet is a hoax ( Subject: virus ).

I received this email from a friend and I did a search on it before I'd send it out ( have had problems with sending out false emails I've gotten in the past). So I now check out all emails with http://www.snopes.com before I post them or send them out.

Here's the URL for this hoax http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/life.asp

Here's the exact email I got ( minus the Date: From: To: ). Subject: virus


Please Be Extremely Careful especially if using internet mail such as Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL 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 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 Software's are not capable of destroying it.



The virus has been created by a hacker who calls himself " life owner". PLEASE MAKE A COPY OF THIS EMAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS and PASS IT ON IMMEDIATELY
