Verified by SNOPES
VERY IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ THIS -
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 either 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 originated it 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 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.

I work for a large insurance company. We were hit with the "Here you have". It crashed all of the exchange email servers. It sends email to every one in you address book. IF you are a giant corporation, it sent to the global address book. In our case 100's of thousands of email accounts. It only took one person to open the thing and every thing went to hell.
The viruses keep getting more and more scary. Or is it we depend more on our computers and the thought of losing our data is the scary part.
PS - Macs are no longer safe. There are a lot of viruses targeting them. Now even smart phones are being hit.

Here's a quote fromm the FOX news link I'm posting:
http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/09/10/protect-virus/#
For those of you NOT running anti virus, I can recommend the free version of AVAST. And 'Comodo' offers a fine free firewall.
But the easiest way to protect yourself from this and other viruses is the simplest: Make sure you're running an anti-virus program and make sure it's up to date. PCMag.com security analyst Neil J. Rubenking agreed, stressing the importance of your own actions in keeping you safe.
