This was reported in July, 31, 2003 as a hoax. Here's a translation of the message:
Quote:

VIRUS WARNING!!!
Special caution is required with InterNet connections such as MSN, Yahoo, Wanadoo, AOL, Infonie and/or free connections. - this information comes from Microsoft, Norton.
ASK this INFORMATION to ALL ITS CONTACTS PASSING on! If it a not really remarkable Mail with a power POINT presentation, which matrix.pps" itself "Welcome ton the; (welcomes in the matrix), IN NO CASE OPENING and DESTROYING call IMMEDIATELY!
When opening one sees approx.. , then the message "You're hard drive follows 10 seconds a picture is over" (your non removable disk is over there), and thus everything is too late - you lose all data stored on your PC and your address file to the sender of the virus are passed on.
That is a new virus that only since short circulates. All possible one must be undertaken around this virus to stop. Also Microsoft already confirmed its aggressiveness and so far is no anti-virus program able it to be destroyed. The virus is of a French Piraten, itself the "Nwin27" calls, programmed. Copy please, this information and to all their contacts pass on! Thanks for your assistance. Mr Gill Lacroix - service Sécurité anti-virus de Microsoft (translation into German: I.Fruehling)
All fake.
