This virus allows hackers to snoop in to your computer system and steal your personal details.

Basically, when you click on the file, you do get to see the real PowerPoint presentation but simultaneously, a Trojan called Troj/Bckdr-RFM gets installed in your system which steals personal information even from the hidden files.

This booby trap file allows the hacker to not only steal information but also spy on the user's activities. They may also use it for malicious deeds like attacking other sites.
