Spam is most likely to be spread by a dormant virus rather than one that is actively in the 'infect everyone else' mode. In other words, spammers probably contact their backdoor spamware while it is idle so they won't have to compete with the virus spreader for bandwidth. The question is, "what are the stats on the dormant period before spam starts?". For dialup users, this period is random and can be several weeks - after which they won't be on the same IP. This may be a good test for DSL senders however.
