I've recently noticed several instances where spam was sent to my home email account 
and the subject
line contained the first names of friends with whom I occasionally exchange email. Not 
common names
like Bill or Susan, but relatively unusual names. It could be just spammers luck that 
they used
names I recognized. But I wonder ... if a virus/worm can collect email addresses on an 
infected
device, could it not also collect names and use them in the spamming process? What are 
the odds?
