------------------------------------------------------------------
especially if 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 email with a Power Point presentation
'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 on Saturday 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

Asgar and I have a new born baby named Riju. She means the world to me, and just
recently the doctors discovered that she had Brain Cancer. Unfortunetly my wife
and I don't have enough money to even pay the bills. My wife and I worked out a
deal with YAHOO, AOL and ORKUT and they have agreed to give us 5 cents for each
person that receives this MSG." So please forward this to evryone on ur
list......It costs u nothing....
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This message seems to be a CHAIN LETTER/HOAX message spreading quickly in Orkut and through e-mails. Many other variants are also there like the following one:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
""Plz don't delete dis...forward it.....
Hello,
my name is Krista and I have a new born baby named Natalie. She means the world to me, and just recently the doctors discovered that she had Brain Cancer.
Unfortunately my husband and I don't have enough money to even pay the bills. My Husband and I worked out a deal with YAHOO and AOL and ORKUT
and they have agreed to give us 5 cents for each person that receives this IM, so please forward this to everyone you know and help out. PLz""
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It is obvious that NO ONE at YAHOO, AOL and ORKUT will agree for a deal like that....if at all...they would have donated some money in charity out of their profits!! They won't allow someone to spread a CHAIN LETTER like these.
