Some viruses only get names from the address book. Others (like SirCam) also look for addresses in your Internet Explorer or Netscape cache files. When you visit this site, the pages get stored in the cache. If the page contains an email address (especially the guestbook), those people receive the virus.Notice the email address I use. It's invalid unless you remove the "nospam-" so I don't get viruses or spam in this way.
