Life Is Beautiful Hoax
May 2002
Another watch out for this file hoax. This time it is a PowerPoint
presentation. Now, a power point presentation could contain a virus,
just like Word and Excel so always check them with an antivirus
program before opening a downloaded file and turn off auto-execution
of included macros. 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 PowerPoint presentation called "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, email and
password. This is a new virus which started to circulate on Saturday
afternoon. WE NEED TO DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO STOP THIS VIRUS. UOL
has already confirmed its dangerousness, and the antivirus Softs are
not capable of destroying it. The virus has been created by a hacker
who calls himself "life owner", and who aims to destroying domestic
PCs and who also fights Microsoft in court! That's why it comes
disguised with extension pps. He fights in court for the Windows-XP
patent.
MAKE A COPY OF THIS EMAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS.
