Title: Dangerous Virus‏
Post by: Redoverfarm on April 04, 2008, 06:39:56 PM
With the constant battling of computer virus's that turn your plain day into a pain day I thought that sharing some of the notices that are received to fellow key tappers to keep us in touch with what is important to us.  Just received this one and it may save someone.

Anyone-using Internet mail such as Yahoo, Hotmail ,  AOL  and so on.
>
> This information arrived this morning 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, a nd 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  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 YOUR FRIENDS, and ask them to PASS IT ON IMMEDIATELY!  THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY SNOPES.

I've seen other things Snopes mentioned that I am pretty sure is not right.

Still gotta hate those virus people.  Thanks, Daddymem.
