A "worm" on somebody else's computer is sending the infected e-mail to people
in the other person's address book. The "worm" fakes the "from address" to
make it look like the e-mail came from someone other than the actual sender.
To do this, the "worm" selects another address in the infected PC's address
book as the "from" address - in this case, your address.

Hope This Helps!
