    Just now I got this mail from one of my friend. Im not sure whether its true or not.

    Anyone have experience with this VIRUS. Please post any further information you got about this virus for sharing it with everyone.

    ******** Mesg **********

    Please BeExtremely Careful especially if using internet mail such as
    Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL 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 , anddelete 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 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 POSSIBLE TO
    STOP THIS VIRUS.

    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 ".

    Sounds like another chain email.. like those "if you don't forward this to all of your friends, your hotmail account will be closed" emails.

    It seems an old one. Trendmicro categoriesed it as Scam & Hoaxes.
