This is most certainly a hoax, although I have seen no report of it yet on
any hoax pages like http://www.avertlabs.com/public/datafiles/valerts/

The creator didn't even bother to fabricate affected software, link to a
major anti-virus site, describe how the virus works, or even how it is
spread (e.g., via e-mail attachment).

I think the commercial url, which does work, given in the signature file is
a likely clue to the purpose for such a claim: $$.
