    Then there are two possibilities:
    1. Your friends a have infections which cause them to send spam or virus attachments to everyone in their address book or to random user accounts
    2. Your PC is infected and the address of your friends are being spoofed (faked) by using your address book and perhaps you are even send bad emails out. Have you checked with friends.
