Two warnings and a tip.

(Arch) writes:

1st. warning:

I'm gullible and it could be a scam, but FWIW and just in case. I got a
virus warning purporting to be from Microsoft and Norton this morning
advising not to open a powerpoint presentation: "Life is beautiful".
(It is but not always on the net.)

Heavy sigh...

I've seen this mistake a thousand times. Literally.
DON'T FORWARD WARNINGS UNLESS YOU CHECK THE ACCURACY

It takes 10 seconds to do a google search, using the string

"live is beautiful" Microsoft virus

and Bingo - it says hoax hoax hoax over and over.
This hoax was started in 2002.

That's 5 years ago!!!!!!!

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS investigate before you cry wolf. Please.

(sound of pulling hair from head. It's not very loud, as there's not much hair left.)

Carry on, gang...
