[Sca-cooks] stolen

[Kirsten Houseknecht]

i have gotten virus messages from my own address, and my computer was NOT
sending them, and wasnt infected. a lot of viruses will just tack on a
random address from a list of email addresses it grabbed off the last
infectee..

so if YOU get infected, and MY email addrress is in your computer, then it
could look like MY name is on the email..
