Didn't think you did sound upset. Actually, I didn't say that your PC has the virus (assuming there is one). What I was saying is that someone who has your address may have a virus. That virus could have accessed their Windows Address book, and then either used it (while fudging the headers to hide where it comes from), or sent it to someone who then used it for spam or sold it to a spammer.
It's also theoretically possible that somebody hacked NTL, but unlikely. I doubt NTL would have sold your details on as a) this would violate the Data Protection Act, and b) would not make them a lot of money.
