Presumably 'break in to their house and format their hard drive' (then install Mandrake on it to stop all this happening again ;) The problem is that they have: i. the Klez virus on their PC; ii. your email address in their Outlook address book. and the virus, as part of its dastardly deeds, sends out emails with spoofed From: lines containing your email address (and everyone else's in the address book). This Wired piece: http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,52174,00.html explains it all very well.
