A virus can be capable of *appearing* to sign a message, but only those
who actually verify signatures will tell if the signature was OK. In
the past, I've had a few messages slip past SpamAssassin (spam, not
viruses) because they included fake PGP signature lines -- SA saw the
presence of a signature -- as opposed to a valid signature -- and upped
the score appropriately.
I haven't seen any spam imitate a detatched signature like yours,
however, only inline signatures.
