email virus

[charlie senator]

just got this sent to me by marriot hotels so i assume its genuine

VERY IMPORTANT WARNING


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 Saturday 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 it to everybody you know." is usually a dead-giveaway for a hoax.
