"This information arrived this morning direct from both Microsoft and Norton" Email Hoax

Another email hoax which arrived today morning.
ഇതു അയക്കുന്നവരുടെ ഇമെയില്‍ അഡ്രസ്‌ കണ്ടുകെട്ടണം The content of the mail is as follows

Please
Be Extremely Careful
especially if 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 email with a Power Point presentation





'Life is beautiful.'

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 Tuesday afternoon.

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.'


PLEASE SEND A COPY OF THIS EMAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS and ask them to
PASS IT ON IMMEDIATELY

Indeed this is an email hoax which originated well back in 2002. Click to find what Wiki, Microsoft , and Google has to say about this

Once again my advice to my friends, Before sending such email forwards just check its credibility. Be sensible. It just wastes your and my time. I had to spend 10 minutes to write this post. Ha Haa
