New virus threat?
 

Just had an email from a friend warning about a new virus that was apparently discovered over the last few days. It warns you may get a message "life is beautiful" then a powerpoint presentataion opens & tells you your life is no longer beautiful! Something also said about this virus wiping your computer and gives detals to the creator of your passwords!:confused:
Anyone else had similar warnings?

Sounds a hoax to me.

Al,

This sounds like a chain letter hoax to me. Best to just delete it. See this link...

This "warning" claims that a very destructive virus disguised as a Power Point Presentation called "Life is beautiful" is currently being distributed via email. However, there is not, nor has there ever been a virus like the one described in this message.
