VIRUS WARNING

Post by griff buch »

WARNING
I have just received, from a reliable source, a warning about a new virus that at the moment has no antidote so under NO circumstances must you open it.

It will come as a powerpoint presentation and have the title of LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL

If you open the file it will come up with the message ITS TOO LATE NOW YOUR LIFE IS NO LONGER BEAUTIFUL

It will wipe your computer and get access to your passwords etc. The virus has been around since last weekend.

Google it - you will find its a hoax. Lots of hoax emails doing the rounds - worth googling before you pass it on.

There I was facing this bold red-typed warning about a virus and I ...er... just panicked - I wanted to save the world from meltdown. I'll know better next time to be more aware of the facts. :? :oops: :idea: I have asked my source to enquire as to its validity as it came via a well known Breakfast Neeting Irganisation. :wink:
