Sirs, I use java as part of my original equipment from Gateway and I love all
the things it makes possible. Therefore, I think it's pertinent that you be
aware of this email that I received asking people NOT to enable your applet.

Virus Information of the Day: An Emerging Java Virus
BeanHive is the second virus reported to infect Java code--in this
case, both applications and applets. (StrangeBrew, which infected Java
applications, was reported in August 1998.) Fortunately, the virus
seems to function poorly, which diminishes its threat to users. When
the virus functions properly, it can infect PCs when the user agrees
to run the virus's Java applet while accessing a Web site. In
addition, the virus reported asks users to validate a certificate for
"Landing Camel International" by a so-called "Root Agency" before it
can spread. Disabling Java Applets on your browser should prevent
infection.
