Virus warning
ATTENTION PLEASE:
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� If you open the file, a message will appear on your screen saying: 'It is too late now, your life is no longer beautiful, f*** you and die....'
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, etc. 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

>>>still grateful for D97x7's good intentions.
Not good intentions but panicking without thinking about it first.
A few years ago I worked for a large compnay and some guy got an email saying that a certain file on his disk was a virus so to delete it.
So he deleted the file (without checking with anyone), then forwarded the email to hundreds of people in his work address book.
Turns out the file was an important file that was needed to work his computer.
The next day he had to send a humble apology to everyone and saying how stupid he had been.
I think the same applies in this case.
Believing an email just because it say "Microsoft and Norton and AOL" have confirmed it is just being plain stupid (no other word for it).
Next time think twice (or even three times) for sending on this time of scare monging email.
They are usually hoaxes.
