New Hoaxes: Deeyenda, Penpal, and Red Alert

 > **********VIRUS ALERT**********
 >VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION, PLEASE READ!
 >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!
 >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, obliterates anything on it. Please be
 >careful and forward this e-mail to anyone you care about.
 >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 pages and fear its spread.
 >Please pass this on, for we must alert the general public at the
 >security risks.
