See link in gutty's post.
Hey guys, just a quick warning about an email virus that started circulating on Saturday.
If you get a seemingly harmless email with a Powerpoint presentation attached called 'Life is Beautiful.ppt', DO NOT OPEN IT, DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY.
If you do open this presentation, everything on your computer will be deleted and the sender will have access to your name/IP/email address and password.
It's mainly going round Hotmail, AOL, and Gmail.
That was an FTR service announcement, please resume to normal proceedings. :P

I don't know but.. if someone I don't know sends me a email with an attachment called that, it's deleted straight away. If it's someone I know, I'd ask them first because why would anyone send me anything so obviously a virus?
That attachment is as bad as "Here is my pic!". Anyone who falls for them, is no good at email.

Nope, just got an email warning about it, thought I'd better spread the word.
