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 after-noon.
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!

THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY SNOPES.

This is actually NOT con firmed by Snopes and it is a hoax. please refrain from posting smething you received in a mass email in these forums.

Like Snopes says, power point programs CAN contain viruses so you SHOULD be careful of who you receive files from... but that should just be common sense.
