What a nightmare. I've been aware of this possibility, but I didn't think it 
happened that often.

Are there any particular characteristics of the outgoing spam and/or viruses?

I'd bet that these types of trojans which use existing outlook accounts and 
send mail through outlook probably tend to fall within a narrow range as far as 
the actual spam or virus messages that are sent.

Do you see a pattern with these?

What I'm thinking is that if these fall within a narrow range, then that might 
make it more wise to scan outbound mail.. but to do so using a limited range of 
types of scanning to minimize resources... targetting just the types of spams 
that are being sent by these types of trojans.
