Hey,

Recieved this disturbing bit of news today.

WARNING - WARNING - WARNING - WARNING - WARNING - WARNING.

NO PLAY. Just to let you all know about a new virus. NO PLAY

Important news. You may receive an apparently harmless email with a PowerPoint presentation called: "Life is beautiful.pps."

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, email and password.
This is a new virus which started to circulate on Saturday afternoon. The antivirus Softs are not capable of destroying it.
The virus has been created by a hacker who calls himself "life owner", and who aims to destroying domestic PCs and who also fights Microsoft in court! That's why it comes disguised with extension pps. He fights in court for the Windows-XP patent.

Whew,

I have just taken the razor wire down round my machine which I put there to stop the kids going anywhere near it when I got told of this.

Thanx David. ;)
