So, someone with the virus, who has my email address, can send an email in my name and spread the virus...correct?

Is there a way to track that down and let folks know?

Basically yes, but the virus does the spreading...it's not intentional on the senders part.

If people look at the complete e-mail headers of the messages coming "from" you, they tell where the e-mail actually came from. That's something I don't know how to do without looking it up, and it varies depending on the e-mail client. Bear? Any ideas?
