-> -> Virus warning -Do not read e-mail with "Deeyenda" in the subject. Throw it -> out. It's a virus. -> -> I received an e-mail fwd with the details. Supposedly it affects win ->3.1 & 95. - Oh, no!

He wanted us to heed the warning! Oh, G*d, I suddenly feel cold and clammy...feel ill...there's a rash growing on my fingers...I think I have Deeyendaitis.... ====== Paul R.

You can get a virus through e-mail attachements (i.e. *.exe files, Word and Excel macro viruses, etc..).

>Virus warning -Do not read e-mail with "Deeyenda" in the subject. Throw it >out. It's a virus. No, it's a hoax, as was the "good times" virus warning last year. For details, see the Department of Energy CIAC announcement at http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/bulletins/h-05.shtm

Also dont read E-mail with penpal greetings in it .Big virus someone said it would destroy your hard drive. > >Virus warning -Do not read e-mail with "Deeyenda" in the subject. Throw it > >out.

>You can get a virus through e-mail attachements (i.e. *.exe files, >Word and Excel macro viruses, etc..). In Word, you can only get viruses from Word Documents with the extension ".doc." Text files with the extension ".txt" are okay. M***- never accept a document file from anyone. If it's really important, ask for a text file version of it instead.

I was just passing on the (incorrect) info I got on the Probe listserve. Appologies to all

Hopefully, you're kidding. The "Penpal Greetings" e-mail virus is a hoax also.

Correcting the statement: you can get a virus from a file received as an attachment to an e-mail message; you *cannot* get a virus by reading an e-mail message.

If I change the extension on an infected Word file to .txt and then open it from within Word, it's still gonna give me the virus!

There must be a population explosion of morons!!! Careful, don't become one.

Well said!!! You can get a virus if you execute the e-mail attached file if it is infected.

Hopefully you don't believe this.

>Virus warning -Do not read e-mail with "Deeyenda" in the subject. Throw it bull.

Phillip Ray Lyles: The "net" has been around a whole lot longer than this hoax has been around. About 20+ years longer. Nice try, tho. madh: You can get a virus by viewing macro infected DOCuments. Also, if Netscape gets lame enough that they Java-enable their email, then the possibility of an email virus will arise. (Has Netscape gone that far yet? I quit using it, so I don't know...)

I couldn't help but add my two cents :) If e-mail ever becomes infectable, I'm sure Symantec and McAfee will be there to cash in on it :) >Virus warning -Do not read e-mail with "Deeyenda" in the subject. Throw it >out. It's a virus. >I received an e-mail fwd with the details. Supposedly it affects win 3.1 & 95.

I couldn't help but add my two cents :) raw e-mail (plain text) cannot be infected, however it is "POSSIBLE" (this doesn't mean it will, it's just POSSIBLE) that an HTML (MIME) type e-mail containing... well I'm not going to give anyone ideas. Let's put it this way, if it ever becomes possible I'm sure Symantec and McAfee will be there to cash in on it :) >Virus warning -Do not read e-mail with "Deeyenda" in the subject. Throw it >out.

This hoax has been around about as long as >the net as been up. This might not be _completely_ true. If you or your mail program is idiotic enough to run attachments blindly then you could get, and would deserve to get, a virus. -- |Not speaking for Intel. |

Now, now...be nice everyone..not everybody is a computer genius. Everyone has to start somewhere.....

If you call those macro programs a "virus" I think they fall more toward Trojans. Also only if you use a program that will run the macros without first consulting you. On my computer I decide.

I wonder ? Did anybody ever think that the best way to get an e-mail virus spread would be to title at as a virus warning ? But hey, I would still read them.
