>          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.
