VERY IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ THIS -

These e-mails are floating around currently in HP

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 *Here you have it* .....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 originated it 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 softwares 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.* http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/hereyouhave.asp

This virus started before this Saturday (at least a month or 2 ago). It's been on the news because it started out attacking large companies. McAfee (don't know about the others--I use McAfee has sent out emails regarding this.) I knew the subject line of the email and that it would wipe your computer but I didn't know the rest of the details! Thanks for the warning, I didn't think to send out a message to the board. THANKS DITTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Most of your worries about viruses carried through your email is not to use these email servers, facebook, twitter or any of those social sites.

I don't use any of those places and haven;t had any germs. :)

All these viruses are the reason Mac computers are selling so well these days.

I got one of these last April. It stated that I had a virus and looked official, like it was from my anti-virus protection service. It really fowled me up. Thank goodness, my SIL was able to help me get rid of it.

WHY IS IT WITH ALL THE COMPUTER BRAINY PEOPLE IN THE WORLD;
ONE OF THEM HAS NOT DESIGNED SOMETHING SO THAT WHEN WE RECEIVE THESE AND DON'T OPEN THEM ...BUT ...WE CAN FORWARD THEM TO A PLACE THAT WILL SEND IT BACK WHERE IT CAME FROM AND DESTROY THEIR COMPUTER SYSTEMS COMPLETELY...AFTER AWHILE THEY WOULD STOP. COMPUTERS ARE NOT CHEAP EVEN IF YOU BUILD YOUR OWN.
