Brett -  the way that virus works is that it sends out emails to everyone in
the Outlook/Express address book on the infected machine - however, it takes
a random address from that address book and uses that to spoof the From:

So, if I had you in my address book, along with 50 other people,  and I had
that virus, it would email everyone while making it appear that  it came
from *you*.

This virus is really spreading. I thinik we have had at least 4 copies sent
to the list.
