 SA>>         Well I know shes gone through alot of things recently
 SA>> in personal issues but not sure why she would yell at ya for.

ml>> i can tell ya... complete misunderstanding what what she is being told
ml>> in the above, i'd suspect that she thought it was being said that she
ml>> was sending the virus'... it is very likely that she didn't understand
ml>> that her address was being spoofed as the sender...

 SA> Yeah.  Its all he said she said kinda thing.

yeah, definitely a "kinda" thing ;)

 SA> Folks can be easilly duped into having their ISP or
 SA> network or email address used in sending spam or virii.

and that doesn't even involve any folks getting involved other than the virus 
writers and spammers... especially since they simply gather the addresses from 
files on an infected user's machine...

i've had my address used in the past and do get spam from self to self... i 
won't even mention the times that i've had folk complain to me about the spam 
"i" sent them... that's lasts about as long as it takes me to (gently (at 
times)) correct them and point them to educational resources where they can 
learn about the real world instead of them remaining ignorant in their 
imaginary world ;)
