Hai all see this and read this and enjoy
Hello friends first of all i want to let u know that this is just a hoax. So nothing to worry about.
This hoax started circulating in early 2002 and it has been passed around ever since. In spite of a great deal of online exposure, the hoax tends to resurge from time to time and its rate of circulation increases dramatically for a few months. As hoax emails go, this is one of the most "successful". Perhaps because of the apparent destructiveness of the "virus" and the urgent tone of the warning, people are apt to forward the message without much forethought. Like many other hoaxes, it capitalizes on the recipient's desire to help other Internet users by warning them of a perceived threat.
Symantec clarification about this Hoax
This hoax was first circulated in Portuguese. English, French, Italian and German versions have also been recorded.
English
URGENT! VIRUS!
This information arrived this morning, from Microsoft and Norton. Please send it to everybody you know who accesses the Internet.
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. WE NEED TO DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO STOP THIS VIRUS.
UOL has already confirmed its dangerousness, and 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.
MAKE A COPY OF THIS EMAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS.

Die Information kommt von Microsoft und Norton. Bitte an alle Kontaktpersonen weiterleiten. Ihr könntet ein Mail mit einer Power Point Präsentation erhalten, welche mit "La vita è bella.pps" oder "Life is beautiful.pps" betitelt ist.
Wenn Ihr es kriegt - NICHT OEFFNEN ! SONDERN SOFORT LOESCHEN !! Wenn Ihr es doch öffnet, erscheint die Mitteilung "Adesso è tardi, la vostra vita non
è più bella" oder "Now it's too late, your life is not beautiful anymore".
Ihr verliert unverzüglich den gesamten Inhalt des PCs und der Absender hat Zugang zu Adresse, E-mail und Passwort. Es handelt sich um einen neuen Virus, der seit Samstag Nachmittag im Umlauf ist. Wir müssen da Mögliche unternehmen, um diesen Virus zu stoppen. AOL hat seine Gefährlichkeit bereits bestätigt und die Antivirus-Software ist noch nicht in der Lage, ihn zu zerstören.
Der Virus wurde von einem Hacker programmiert, der sich "Herr des Lebens" nennt (das muss aber nicht zwingend der Absender sein) und der sich vorgenommen hat, alle PCs zu zerstören. Angeblich befindet sich dieser Psychopath in einem Rechtsstreitmit Microsoft über das Patent zu Windows XP.

Commentary:
This "warning" claims that a very destructive virus disguised as a Power Point Presentation called "Life is beautiful" is currently being distributed via email. However, there is not, nor has there ever been a virus like the one described in this message.
There are several variants of the hoax, including versions in Chinese, French, Spanish, Italian and several other languages. The message tries to add authority to its claims by mentioning high-profile companies such as Microsoft and AOL. Incidentally, Microsoft does not send out unsolicited virus warnings. Moreover, "Norton" is the name given to a range of security software products sold by Symantec Corp. Thus, information about virus threats is published by "Symantec", not "Norton". In this case, Symantec haspublished information about the "Life is beautiful" message - but only to denounce it as a hoax.
