be careful new virus about.

I got this email from a friend,

'VERY IMPORTANT , PLEASE READ THIS

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 'Mail Server Report' 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 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 afternoon. 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.

To put a slant on this, I have always been told to be extremly wary of these types of emails, as they often contain the virus, and by forwarding it to everyone in your adress book you are thus spreading the virus quickly.

Not saying this is true in your case, but just to warn what it may be.

sounds like another stupid chain email to me.

I have had no warning from AOL who i am with either.

hmm, didn't think of that, it being the spreader. oh well, it was just a thought!!!

As a rule if any email asks you to send it on to all your friends then don't, it's probably a hoax.

It could even be worse that a hoax in that it could have ill intent acting as either a way to harvest email addresses for spamming or to crash some email system (they often ask you to send the email to a certain address at some point in time).

and i'm normally SO suspicious of Everything!!
