Never believe the 'From' address of infected emails. Although it can look like it comes from someone you know, it is probably a forged address. Just because it says it came from Roxy (Tracey) it really doesn't mean anything. In all liklihood, someone else who has Tracey in their address book is infected. The malicious code on that infected box will send out emails to/from random names in that address book. They do this because it is far more likely that you would open an email from somebody you know. And, since you don't actually know the real source, you'll have a hard time alerting the person to the fact hat they are infected. Right now you probably think Roxy is infected, but she probably didn't even send it. That's exactly what the virus writer wants you to think.

Svenn, sorry about that. I was not trying to say that you were fooled, just wanted people to know why it happens this way.
