I had the same problem, I think it came from a message to this message board
that referenced CONN and had a humor attachment. My guess anyway.

MY COMPUTER WAS INFECTED----IT SEEMS TO HAVE SENT MESSAGES TO ANYONE ON MY
ADDRESS
BOOK.....
I think I have it out of my computer now. BUT I thought I would
send this
out in case some of you may have got it from me. SORRY, I guess
Norton update was not fast enough. Diana

If anyone has received an e-mail from me in the last 48 hours, DO NOT OPEN
the
attachments or read the e-mail. It does contain a virus! I really
apologize for any inconvenience this has caused to anyone! Any e-mail you
may have received, sent by me, was not sent intentionally. I had no idea I
had a virus until my e-mail started going crazy. I did contract this from
just reading an e-mail. It seems to be running rampid to subscribers of
various Rootsweb lists. If anyone has opened an attachment from me or read
an e-mail from me & feels they have contracted this, please visit
www.symantic.com for instructions to get rid of this virus. It is the
BadTrans.B virus. Again, I really apologize. I am virus free now, (at
least I pray I am) but I feel as though I've had the plague. Wayne worked
for sometime to make sure we got rid of it.
