This came to me from a respected source.  It is not about bees but it might
be of concern to all of us.
 
 
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. Someone is sending email under the
title "Deeyenda" nationwide - so if you get anything like this DON'T
DOWNLOAD THE FILE! It has a virus that rewrites your hard drive,
obliterating anything on it.
 
The virus 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 risks.  The 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 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 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 to people outside
Treasury if you wish, for we must alert the general public to the
security risk.
