Re: this is so important to this list!
Origins: The warning about a Microsoft PowerPoint file named "Life is
Beautiful" carrying a a computer-destroying virus is a hoax, one that has
been with us since at least January 2002. It originally circulated in
Portuguese, but it was later translated into English and a host of other
languages.
Although this particular example is a hoax, PowerPoint presentations can
contain viruses, so prudent computer users should always check downloaded or
e-mailed PowerPoint presentations before opening them.
Sorry for the interruption on this list, but I do so hate hoaxes and
anything else to deal with viruses.
May glory and honor be with you...Qapla'!

Subject: this is so important to this list!
I AM HERE TO STOP A VIRUS FROM CIRCULATING TO THIS LIST HERE IS THE
INFORMATION:Please Be Extremely Careful Especially if using Internet mail
such as Yahoo, Hotmail and so on. This information arrived this morning,
from
Microsoft and Norton. Please send it to everybody you know who accesses the
Internet. You may receive an apparently harmless email with a Power Point
presentation "Life is beautiful. pps" 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. WE NEED TO DO EVERYTHING PO SSIBLE TO STOP THIS VIR US: AOL has
already confirmed the severity, and the anti virus Softs are not capable of
destroying it. The virus has been created by a hacker who calls himself
"life
owner", PLEASE MAKE A COPY OF THIS EMAIL AND SEND TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS
