Carey,
The So Big worm does not spread the bug directly from the person whose PC is
infected. It is rather insidious because it will search a PC for any e-mail
address anywhere - the e-mail doesn't even have to be in an address book - it
could be in a browser cache. It then uses those addresses to not only spread
itself but to send out false "spoof" e-mails.
Chances are that the e-mails you have been getting are NOT from the computer
that originated the worm.
Members of Museum-L have posted some great information and URLs to articles
on this event!
Cheers!
Dave
