Many virus's grab and mangle the addresses in your email software, then re-email themselves to others, with fictitious return addresses derived from the originals.

Or its Daves' evil plan to temporarily disable our computers so he can take a vacation. J/K.

Yeah, that happens quite a bit actually. I think they mostly get our addresses off the website, but they make it look like we sent it. However, it you go look at the message header, you'll be able to see where it really came from. Sucks for us, cuz it makes us look like idiots. Someone has even been doing this to Microsoft lately.
