  We present results of a re-analysis of archival EUVE data of the central
region of the Virgo cluster. We employ the new analysis method developed by
Bowyer, Bergh\"ofer & Korpela (1999) and find diffuse emission reaching out to
a distance of $\approx 13\arcmin$. The spatial distribution of this flux is
incompatible with a thermal plasma origin. We investigate whether this emission
is due to inverse Compton scattering of relativistic electrons against the
3$^{\circ}$ K black-body background. We show that this emission cannot be
produced by an extrapolation to lower energies of the observed synchrotron
radio emitting electrons and an additional component of low energy relativistic
electrons is required. In addition to discussing the diffuse EUV emission, we
present an analysis of the EUV emission originating from the jet in M87.
