GENUINE WARNING

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 email with a Power Point
presentation called

'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 last Tuesday 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'

PLEASE SEND A COPY OF THIS
EMAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS
and ask them to PASS IT ON
IMMEDIATELY

want to know detail about it go to wikipedia website by following link and read

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_is_beautiful_virus_hoax

The Life is beautiful virus hoax is an e-mail hoax which began circulating on the Internet around January 2002 in Brazil. The e-mail details a virus contained in a Microsoft PowerPoint attachment which is supposedly called Life is beautiful.pps. To date, no such virus has been found and the e-mail is widely considered a hoax.

The e-mail claims to be based upon information from Microsoft and Norton. Symantec, the makers of Norton AntiVirus and who actually provides the virus definitions database for Norton AntiVirus, have issued an advisory stating that the e-mail is a hoax.^[1]

Although the hoax began circulating in 2002 it became active once again in late 2009. In some instances the text of the hoax e-mail reports that the virus was made by a person, codename "life owner," who is suing Microsoft in court for patent infringement.

The email has again become active in February 2011.
