A better idea is to not open emails warning about the Life-Is-Beautiful-virus

This a hoax that's been around several times in the last 5 years. http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/life.asp

Always check http://www.snopes.com/ for these things that smell like a hoax. Type a few keywords into their search box

It's a hoax or possible virus, do some research on it, however I simply just ignore such spam mail because, well what's the the point to look in if you have the knowledge of, respectfully, Subject : There's a virus! Calm down
or Subject : You won 1 000 000$$!!! TO claim...
or Fowarding Spam Mails like : irrevelant messages,
just ignore it and delete it, I don't look into my junk e-mail box unless I'm verifiying my e-mail for something or forum account. And yeah just don't open irrevelant possible trojan-infecting megazonist scum scam/religious mail.

beginning maximum any emails won't provide you a scourge, clicking the hyperlinks and acquire the documents sent are the thank you to acquire a scourge. As for it being on your telephone reduces the prospect much greater simply by fact there have been very few cellular viruses and that they are discovered on android regularly.

Hello Siobhan,

If you got to Norton (Symantec) you will discover that this is a hoax and has been around since February 2002.

For confirmation of this please visit:

http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2002-011511-0444-99&tabid=2

I for one am always grateful for information on 'genuine' threats to my computer, but before ringing alarm bells for everyone, please research the 'possible' threat first before posting and alarming others.

Although even hoaxes should be taken seriously, I do feel that rather than posting messages saying it is a genuine virus, each one of us should find out first by checking it out using a Search Engine.

If it is found to be a hoax, please simply draw peoples attention to that fact and supply them with a bona fide link (such as Symantec) so they can confirm it.

Thanks for the tip. I have given you a star for it as it is deserving. I do not normally open unknown e mails but still worth the tip. I am passing it on to all in my address book.
