Confirmed by Snopes, Yes. Virus, Yes and No, sort of. From Snopes.com:

"This latter version is difficult to classify as either "true" or "false": The virus it references (i.e., the Mail Server Report worm) was a real one, but it's neither new nor currently rampant (as claimed in the warning text), nor does it manifest itself in the fashion described (since the "symptoms" provided in the warning are merely a reworking of the text of an earlier virus hoax.) All in all, that message doesn't really merit the dire warning to "SEND A COPY OF THIS TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS, And ask them to PASS IT ON IMMEDIATELY!"

Never drive any faster than your guardian angel can fly.

I am not an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of Florida,
and I may not give legal advice or accept fees for legal advice.

When I checked Snopes, I didn't find it new (2006) or exactly 'confirmed', but still good to know:

You may receive an apparently harmless e-mail titled "Mail Srver Report" If you open either file, a message will appeqr on your screen saving: "It is too late now, your life is no longer beautiful...."

Subsequently you will LOSE EVERYTHING ON YOUR PC, and th4e 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 fternoon. AOL has already confirmed the severity, and the anti virus software's are not capable of destroying this virus. The virus has been created by a hacker who calls himself 'life owner'.

This has been confirmed by Snopes.
