NAME:

EXE.EIDE hoax

There is no virus by this name. Instead, there is a hoax e-mail message with this name being passed around. The e-mail message looks like this:

  Now Downloading EXE.EIDE Virus

  Complete!

  Sup, this is CryoDeth here, you may not know me, but I'm one of
  AOL's biggest hackers, but not known so much for my hacking
  talents, as I am for my email macro virus talents. That's
  right. As soon as you opened this email, a virus was downloaded
  to your computer. This virus can and WILL delete your entire
  hard drive, but can be stopped by doing 2 things....

  First, you must remove any knowledge to AOL's server that you
  opened this mail, to do this, you must complete the following:

  Send mail to: storage42406_b@hotmail.com

  In the subject, put: EMAIL-DELETE

  In the message box, put:

     Encrypt/type = MIME/plain
     Open(MIME-Message204b)
     Remove(Your Screen Name Here)
     Edit.Mailbox(Your Password Here)
     Mailbox.Refresh
     Close(MIME-Message204b)
     Connection.End

  THE VIRUS ISN'T GONE YET!!!!! This only delayed the virus from
  kicking in for about a week. As it stands, your hard drive will
  be completely erased in one week. THE SECOND thing you must do,
  is forward this to ast least 50 people before that week is up.
  As long as the virus is running in your system, it detects when
  you forward this letter, and to how many people. Once the limit
  of 50 is reached, it deletes itself off your hard drive, and
  off your computer, and will no longer pose a threat to your
  system.

  The only reason I am doing this, is to show everyone on AOL
  just who is in charge here! I have done ALOT of work, and have
  gained little or no respect. Well, it's now time to pay up, and
  this is how I will get you to. >=)

Ignore this message. There is no such a virus.
