Title: email virus alert.....Just got it.
Post by: Elfie on November 03, 2010, 07:37:20 AM
VERY IMPORTANT!   PLEASE READ THIS  - These e-mails are floating around currently in HP

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 titled Here you have it  If you open either 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 originated it 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 anti virus softwares 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.

It is always better to share in this day and age.  You have told me more then once about something that was true.  Always nice know people are thinking of others.   8)

That's a worse virus. It can steal information once you link to their message. We should be aware of this virus especially those people who have work on the internet.
