Confirming what Trebor says. Many new viruses use the addresses on the victims machine not only as a new source of infection, but also to spoof the senders address. This causes confusion.
Also, many viruses also harvest those addresses and pass them to spamming lists, hence the increase in spam to addresses who's owners are extremely careful not to announce their email addresses to the whole world to avoid spam........there's simply no hiding is there
