Hello Ulla

To find out if something is a hoax or not, just put the name of

Virus or hoax in the Search window and you will immediately find

oodles and oodles of links willing to tell you if it is a hoax or

not. Just put, " Life is beautiful.pps " in the Search box or you

can put, " Life+is+beautiful.pps " . I did it without the plus sign

and it came up immediately. But you probably know all that...but

like I often do, you forgot?

If I was a mean and vindictive person, I would make up a Hoax Virus

for everyone who ever was mean to me. That might be how some of

the hoaxes started. If I made up a brand new hoax/virus, the

person to whom I sent it, would not know if it was a real virus or

not. No need to worry......I won't do that to anyone. )
