FCC WARNING!!!!!-------DEEYENDA PLAGUES THE INTERNET
The Internet community has again been plagued by another
computer virus.
This message is being spread throughout the Internet,
including USENET posting, e-mail, and other Internet activities.
The reason for all the attention is because of the nature of this
virus and the potential security risk it makes. Instead of a
destructive Trojan virus (like most viruses!), this virus referred
to as the Deeyenda Maddick virus, performs a comprehensive search on
your computer, looking for valuable information, such as e-mail and
login passwords, credit card numbers, personal information, etc.
The Deeyenda virus also has the capability to stay memory
resident while running a host of applications and operating 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 (it varies).
The reason for this warning is because the Deeyenda virus is
virtually undetectable. Once the virus attacks, your computer will
be unsecure. Although it can attack any OS (Operating System), 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 under 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 message on as soon as you get this message, for
we must alert the general public at the security risks of this virus.
