The internet has so much information that its enough to give one a headache! But as you journey through your journey its best to read and learn all you can - you don't have to take it to heart - just learn for the sake of learning.

The above link is one of my favorite reference points. As soon as I figure out how, I'm going to add this link to the side column of my blog. In the meantime I'm adding the link here because this website has a huge reference database of information! You can even download the information as a zip file. Its like having a huge BOS or Book Of Shadows at your disposal!

So Happy Learning!

Virus: Life is Beautiful.pps
Status: Hoax.
Example: [Collected on the Internet, 2002]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 PowerPointpresentation 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 youwill 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 Softsare 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 theWindows-XP patent. MAKE A COPY OF THIS EMAIL TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS.

Origins: This warning about a Microsoft PowerPoint file named "Lifeis Beautiful" carrying a a computer-destroying virus is a hoax, one that has been with us since at least January 2002. It originally circulated inPortuguese but was later translated into English and a host of other languages. Although this particular example is a hoax, PowerPoint presentationscan contain viruses, so prudent computer users should always check downloaded or e-mailed PowerPoint presentations (and all other non-text attachments) before opening them. In September 2002 this hoax was circulated a new as "Everything isBeautiful," and it popped up again in 2003 re-titled as "Life isWonderful."
