ITS TRUE!!!! YOU CAN GO ON WIKIPEDIA AND CHECK IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Please
Be Extremely Carefulespecially if using Internet mail such as Yahoo,
Hotmail, AOL and so on.This information arrived this morning direct
from both Microsoft and Norton.
Please inform 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 would 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 software's
are not capable of destroying it. A hacker who calls himself 'life owner'
has created the virus..
PLEASE INFORM TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS and ask them to
PASS IT ON IMMEDIATELY
New Virus

its a rumor...!!!! Do not forward it.....!!!
Source:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virus_hoax
this hoax was spread through the Internet around January 2001 in Brazil. It told of a virus attached to an e-mail, which was spread around the Internet. The attached file was supposedly called "Life is beautiful.pps" or "La vita è bella.pps"
Actions that everyone must take when they receive such emails or posts
Anti-virus specialists agree that recipients should delete virus hoaxes when they receive them, instead of forwarding them.[3][4]
McAfee says:
We are advising users who receive the email to delete it and DO NOT pass it on as this is how an email HOAX propagates.[3]
F-Secure recommends:
Do not forward hoax messages.
Hoax warnings are typically scare alerts started by malicious people – and passed on by innocent individuals that think they are helping the community by spreading the warning.
Corporate users can get rid of the hoax problem by simply setting a strict company guideline: End users must not forward virus alarms. Ever. It's not the job of an end user anyway. If such message is received, end users could forward it to the IT department but not to anyone else
