Apologies if my memory is faulty but I think I remember reading a
mailing about this virus on this forum. I enclose our computer
person's response to a similar message circulating around our school
mailing list.
It seems these messages are themselves quasi-viral

Reference Virus alert PKZ300B
This is a spoof virus and has been known about for over
6 months. There is no such thing as PKWARE 3.00G.
Any such messages refering to this Virus Alert
from other Newsgroups Maillists should be treated with the contempt they
deserve.
