virus warning

[Doggy Carrots]

you all maybe know of this already but i will post this just in case,
Please Be Extremely Careful especially if 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 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 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 antivirus software's are not capable of destroying it.
The virus has been created by a hacker who calls himself "life owner." http://freespace.virgin.net/rob.young/WebSight/GIFs/rskull.gif">

Ah, I love these hoax virus warnings! They do more damage to the Internet than real viruses do! So I've decided to create my own: Please feel free to pass it on...

NEW VIRUS WARNING!!!

If you receive an e-mail with the title "Hi there!" under no circumstances should you open it!!! It contains a virus that will WIPE OUT YOUR HARD-DRIVE, but before it does that it will go on-line and also wipe out your best friend's hard-drive!!!!!!! Plus, it will log into your on-line bank and transfer all your money to a secret fund that the government uses to illegally conduct experiments on helpless BUNNIES!!! The virus will also modify your computer's monitor to send out a hypnotic signal that will turn you GAY or even STERILE!!! It can even modify your home's power supply and will fiddle with the settings on your video so that it will only tape Coronation Street and NOTHING ELSE!! The virus has been confirmed by AOL and Apple and the people who make Tropicana Orange Juice, who have all released statements warning about the virus, which they have CONFIRMED to be TRUE and not a HOAX!!!!! Please pass this message on to everyone in the entire universe so that they can all be warned!!!!!! If you know someone who doesn't have a computer, but might be thinking of getting one, please print out this warning and post it to them so that they will be forewarned!! Also, you should buy Michael Carroll's new book, The Quantum Prophecy!!!

Unlikely.  Unless it was one of those thick cardboard ones with a maximum of six pages- including the covers.  And it was ghost written.
