It's the BugBear. It uses the address books of infected computers to
  harvest email addresses that's used both for sender and recipient.
  Using addresses for sender different than the one of the infected
  account is intended to increase the confusion and reduce the chances
  to trace the infected computer. Most likely it's not Paal that sent
  you the virus. He just happened to be in somebody else's address
  book.
