Virus "spoofs" sender by using infected PC's windows
address book (wab) in Outlook or it strips it from
the "from" header of an email message that was sent to
infected PC such as from a "pass this on to 10 people"
emails. As long as antivirus program is up and running you
should be safe. Block messages from senders you don't
know. Enable Virus Protection in Outlook (Tools->Options-
> Security) and keep XP updated with latest patches.
