        Just received the following message from a friend  Sarah x
         
        VERY IMPORTANT WARNING  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
