Here you have it virus
« on: April 12, 2011, 04:20:27 PM »

READ IMMEDIATELY

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'.

THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY SNOPES.

Confirmed by Snopes, but it also states that the virus has been downgraded to 'low' and that McAfee has updated their software to recognize and neutralize VBMania.
