While the BugBear virus will indeed search through .tbb files (and
others) looking for email addresses, you still have to launch the damn
thing yourself. Very explicitly, too, after having been warned by TB
that you're about to do something dangerous.

And this, too, probably only after you've been warned by your system's
own virus scanner.

I also notice that the registry key BugBear uses to harvest the user's
email address and SMTP server,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Account Manager\Accounts
doesn't have a corresponding entry in my system. Probably it would
exist if I had done things the Microsoft Way and let outlook do its
thing, but I'm not about to test this.
