Yup, what's interesting is that many of these viruses are mass mailing worms, that don't use the infected clients software. So while they are online, the mass mailer beavers a way, eating up system resources and bandwidth. Calls to ISP's are then made about why internet connections have slowed down, or PC rebooting when online, and nobody is any the wiser.
