PSA: Email Virus Warning

[AApple]

VERY IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ THIS -

These e-mails are floating around currently.
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” or “Just for you.” 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 WARN ALL YOUR FRIENDS and ask them to PASS IT ON IMMEDIATELY!

THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY SNOPES:

Sounds like a nasty one.

My in-laws just had a virus which sent out viagra emails to everyone in their address book.
It also changed the log in password and the secret password reminder question!

Dern kids these days :Awe:
