A lot of these WORM programs (not true viruses per se) have a routine that
after they have infected your computer, then start emailing the worm to
everyone in your address book. so if a friend gets it, you will get emailed
with it too.
BTW just for everyone's information.. there is no such thing as a virus that
hides in JPEG picture files, so they are safe to open, but never open an EXE
from anyone unless you know it is 100% safe..
