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 virus.
