People send me these things and I usually check with snopes before passing them on. Have you more computer savvy types heard of this one? Is it true?

Anyone-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 e-mail titled "Mail Server Report"

If you open either 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.
AOL has already confirmed the severity, and the anti virus 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 E-MAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS, And ask them to
PASS IT ON IMMEDIATELY!

THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY SNOPES

I was just on Snopes and it say's they haven't confirm this a virus yet! It is similar to a previous email that was sent. But as always don't open mail with attachments that you don't know the sender or if your not expecting one.

Thank God Almighty, oh and Steve Jobs too, for creating Macs.


When life hands you lemons, cut them up.......and squeeze them in life's eye.
