My guess is that someone in the group is using a winblows machine (i.e.
Outhouse Express) mail client. They have now become infected. The virus
is accessing the address book and sending out spew-o-grams on a routine
basis.
If you look at the McAfee website, this virus that is making the rounds
has the potential to create a 'backdoor' for hackers.
