Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 The "Life is Beautiful" virus is a hoax. It's been around since 2002. Read the details here > http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/life.asp If you don't want to follow the link then go to www.snopes.com and do a search for "Life is Beautiful" and you can read about it yourself. Pass THIS on to everyone you passed the original warning to. Peace!
