Virus Warning - True or Fake ?

[derekpara]

I have been warned of a new and dangerous virus which has apparently been confirmed by Snopes.

It appears as a seemingly harmless e-mail headed ' Here You Have It' . If you open it a message appears ' It is too late now, your life is no longer beautiful.' and you will subsequently lose everything on your PC and the person who originated it will have accress to your name, email and password.

Anyone know about it or is it yet another hoax ?

Cheers.

Most modern-day viruses are hoaxes, you should never let your guard down though. The improving anti-virus program updates forces the Losers to employ more cunning methods to spread their cr@p.

Update your anti-virus everyday and use a reliable firewall. Turn the modem or your computer off when you don't plan to use it for more than a couple of hours. You will never be completely safe from them as a new virus will have no antidote. Make sure your A.V. is set to scan incoming mail.

Thanks to you all. It was as I suspected.

Yes there have been viruses spread using emails with the subject "here you have it" and some similar variations.

No they don't destroy everything on your hard drive, that part is a hoax
