As an aside, the virus also spoofs email addresses and places them in the FROM field.
For instance, say I have the klez virus on my machine. Let's also say that in the past I've emailed you and also emailed officials choice. It is quite possible for the virus to change the from field to the officials choice email address and send itself to you. you think you have received it from officials choice when it could have come from me all along.
I've received this one a dozen times in the past week and everytime I asked the sender to check for the virus on their computers, they came up clean.
