hotmail/yahoo/aol users!

There is a virus going around which cannot be destroyed by the anti virus softwares.

If you receive an email subject title: 'Life is beautiful' with a power point presentation attached do NOT open it - DELETE IT

If you open it a message will appear saying 'It's too late now - your life is no longer beautiful' and everything on your computer will disappear and the hacker will gain access to your email and password.

The hacker calls themself 'Life Giver'

Hope this is a help to some of you!

Thanks Lottie, coz I'm on AOL and I use Yahoo mail box! Will watch out for that one then, but I never open attachments anyway unless it's somebody I know very well, nor dodgy e-mails come to that!

Thank you Lottie

Probably the same thing.

Agreed, Rich, "Life is beautiful" virus warning is a hoax - http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/life.asp
