Apparently the bugbear worm uses the address book of an infected computer to send itself out, so the attachment will look as if it's come from person A, when it has really sent out from person B.  E.g. B has the email address of A in its address book.  Bugbear sends out emails, with the worm attached, to all people in B's address book, as if sent from A (rather than B).  So Denise, you may not have had the worm in the first place.

Clear?  Probably as mud :-)
