Virus alert?

I recieved a heads up message this morning asking me to pass this message on; this is it
"Please send it to everybody you know who has access to the Internet.

You may receive an apparently harmless e-mail with a Power Point
presentation ' Life is Beautiful'
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, e-mail and password."
what do you think? cheers Jim

It does say be wary of anything from the named source

Thanks for the heads up Jim

It is because of emails such as these as to why I do not open any emails unless I know the sender. Even then you still have to be careful Confused
