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 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 Deeyenda Maddick,
performs a comprehensive search on your computer, looking for valuable
information, such as email and login passwords, credit cards, personal
inf., 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 send to the server, this virus can copy
this information and SEND IT OUT TO UN 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 under Windows 95). Researchers at
Princeton University have found this virus on a number of World Wide
Web pagesand fear its spread.
Please pass this on, for we must alert the general public at the
security risks. |
