Just got this email. Anyone have anything on it?

IMMEDIATELY.....VERY IMPORTANT


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 the 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, 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.

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.

It is a chain mail designed to harvest cc'd e-mail addresses.

Do not ever send this kind of shit on to your friends.
Think about it.

If you want to go Phishing for email addresses, or release a malicious virus on the world, the easiest, fastest way to spread it far and wide is to disguise it as a message warning people about a virus and to urge them disseminate it far and wide.
