>>>>>Please distribute as widely as possible:
>>>>>There is a computer virus that is being sent across the Internet. If you
>>>>receive an email message with the subject line "Deeyenda", DO NOT read the
>>>>message, DELETE it immediately. Please read the messages below.
>>>>>Some miscreant is sending email under the title "Deeyenda" nationwide, if
>>>>you get anything like this DON'T DOWNLOAD THE FILE! It has a virus that
>>>>rewrites your hard drive, obliterating anything on it. Please be careful
and
>>>>forward this mail to anyone you care about.
>>>>>
>>>>> FCC WARNING !!!!! ----- DEEYENDA PLAGUES INTERNET ----
>>>>> The internet community has again been plagued by another computer
>>>>virus. This message is being spread throughout the internet, including
>>>>USENET posting, EMAIL, and other interent activities.. The reason for all
>>>>the attention is because of the nature of this virus and the potential
>>>>security risks it makes.
>>>>>
>>>>> Instead of a destructive trojan virus (most viruses!), this virus,
>>>>referred to as Deeyenda Maddick, performs a comprehensive search on your
>>>>computer, looking for valuable information, such as email and login
>>>>passwords, credit cards, personal info, etc. The Deeyenda virus also has
>>>>the capability to stay memory resident while running a host of
applications
>>>>and operation systems, such as Windows 3.11 and Windows 95.
>>>>>
>>>>> What this means to internet users is that when a login and PASSWORD
>>>>are sent to the server, this virus can COPY this information and SEND IT
OUT
>>>>TO AN UNKNOWN ADDRESS (varies).
>>>>>
>>>>> The reason for this warning is because the Deeyenda virus is
virtually
>>>>undetectable. Once attacked, your computer will be unsecure. Although it
>>>>can attack any O/S, this virus is most likely to attack those users
viewing
>>>>Java enhanced Web Pages (Netscape 2.0+ and Microsoft Internet Explorer
3.0+
>>>>which are running on Windows 95) . Researchers at Princeton University
>>>>have found this virus on a number of World Wide Web pages and fear its
>spread.

>>>>>
>>>>> Please pass this on, for we must alert the general public of the
>>>>security risks.
