I received this in my university e-mail in-box today. Check it out.
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.
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."

"Life Owner" (the creator of this virus) better understand that the many of us, when it comes to messing with our e-mail accounts, understand kinetic energy to his face (transferred through whatever means) as simply another form of discourse.
It's fine that the file was created (I don't open what's unfamiliar anyhow), but the creator should also know that there are individual and societal responses to someone creating internet viruses... wait a minute... was it you, AI? Or maybe I should say, "Life Owner"!?!
In any case, let's all take time to reflect on what's really important today...
