Hi Marilyn,

Thanks for the warning.  It always great to know that Friends have your back in situations such as these.  Kinda like our own Neighborhood Watch here at Adland. I will definitely pass this on.

Thanks Again,

Phil

Hi Marilyn,

Thanks for the heads up but I think you will find this is an old hoax, I checked it out and found this...

Life Is Beautiful Hoax

May 2002

Another watch out for this file hoax. This time it is a PowerPoint presentation. Now, a power point presentation could contain a virus, just like Word and Excel so always check them with an antivirus program before opening a downloaded file and turn off auto-execution of included macros.

This information arrived this morning, from Microsoft and Norton.
Please send it to everybody you know who accesses the Internet. You may
receive an apparently harmless email with a PowerPoint presentation
called "Life is beautiful.pps."
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, email and password.
This is a new virus which started to circulate on Saturday afternoon.
WE NEED TO DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO STOP THIS VIRUS. UOL has already
confirmed its dangerousness, and the antivirus Softs are not capable of
destroying it. The virus has been created by a hacker who calls himself
"life owner", and who aims to destroying domestic PCs and who also fights
Microsoft in court!
That's why it comes disguised with extension pps. He fights in court for
the Windows-XP patent.
MAKE A COPY OF THIS EMAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS.

Best regards
