I just received this. Anyone know anything about it? WTF!!!

Hoist!

FYI
 
HI ALL THIS was  sent to me by our son who is in charge of the  computers
For the state of Florida -- whenever he receives anything like this it is a
Warning to the  State as well as all us little people  --
 
                  VERY IMPORTANT , PLEASE READ  THIS !
 
 
Anyone-using Internet mail  such as Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL  and so on.
 
This information arrived this  morning, Direct  from both Microsoft and
Norton.    Please send it  to everybody you know who has Access  to the Internet.
 
You may receive an  apparently harmless e-mail titled 'Mail Server
Report'.     If you open either 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.
 
This is a new virus  which started to circulate on Saturday  afternoon..
 AOLhas already confirmed the severity,  and the anti virus software's are
Not capable of  destroying it.
 
The virus has been created by  a hacker who calls himself
 'life  owner'.
 
PLEASE SEND A COPY OF THIS  E-MAIL TO  ALL YOUR FRIENDS, And ask them to
PASS  IT ON IMMEDIATELY!
 
THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY  SNOPES.

classic hoax - whenever somebody asks you to send mails to whomever you know it's 99 % trash.

Erase and forget.

I got it from another site member via my email. I figure the easiest way to check is to ask youze about it!

Hoist!
