"personalized" viruses?

[Buick From Hell]

Well, this is freaky:

Just received one of my daily viruses in the e-mail.

Came addressed from "Jasoncramer". Nothing strange about that.

The freaky part, is what the subject line says:
Hi, Kevin, lets be friends

First of all....duurr, I've only known Jason for years
but, umm, how exactly did MY NAME (which ISN'T on my e-mail address!) get into the subject line of an "automatically" sent Klez virus???

As my avatar sez: NOT cool!

Sheesh, if you don't wanna be friends with Jason, just say so...don't concoct this crazy story. Next you'll be saying that there are mosquitoes in your butter.

Easy question. Jason has a virus, and that is how he has your e-mail address saved. He has your name connected to it in an address book. Viruses love to use those little holes in M$ products. Thank Uncle Gates!
